Former MLB Player Luis Gonzalez Pulls Woman from Car After Accident

Former Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Luis Gonzalez pulled a woman from her car after an accident in a Phoenix suburb Friday.

According to the Arizona Republic, Gonzalez stopped when he saw two cars get involved in a head-on collision after a vehicle jumped a median.

Gonzalez's friend, Artie Cuffari, tweeted video of the scene:

After helping the woman, the 49-year-old former major leaguer explained the situation and his decision to leap into action:

"I just reacted. I didn't think about it, to be honest with you. ... I was just trying to get the lady out of the car. She was a little dazed and groggy. I was like, 'Open the door, open the door, the other car is on fire.' I didn't know if the car was going to blow up or something because I was seeing flames coming out of it."

Per the Republic, Gonzalez was informed by police that those involved in the crash are doing OK.

Gonzalez spent 19 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Diamondbacks, Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Florida Marlins.

He is best known for delivering the game-winning hit for the D-backs in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series against the New York Yankees.

The five-time All-Star retired following the 2008 season with a career batting average of .283 to go along with 354 home runs and 1,439 RBI.
