Yankees and Dewayne Wise benefit from blown call by umpire Mike DiMuro as fans hide ball in stands
Dewayne Wise climbs out of the stands without the ball, fooling the umpire who calls the Indians final out in the 7th inning.
Khalima Ansari, 21, who was waiting for the same train, was stunned by Simmonds’ heroics.
“The baby had a big gash on his forehead. You could see his skull,” said Ansari, who called 911.
The child was taken to Brookdale University Hospital and treated for cuts to his face and head. “He’s okay. . . . We are thankful,” the boy’s father said at the hospital.
Simmonds didn’t stick around after the rescue.
“It was the fatherly instinct. I have two daughters of my own — 8 and 5. I was being a father. I would have done it for any baby,” he said.
Those instincts meant he missed his train — and the interview that might have led to his first job since he was a laid off as a vocational trainer for the mentally disabled.
He said he had another interview scheduled for Wednesday and was just hoping he could get there without any drama.

“What I really need is a job,” he said.
