The heat hasn’t stopped athletes from practicing and playing baseball this summer, but it almost turned to tragedy for one local family. On May 30, a 16-year-old male was unresponsive on the Victory Christian School Baseball field. Due to the quick actions of a family friend Frank Yeager who performed CPR and the response of emergency personnel, the young patient lived. Pell City Mayor Bill Pruitt issued a proclamation at the regular city council meeting on Monday night, July 8th to thank everyone involved in saving the young man’s life.
