Joe Torre's (baseball player and manager) daughter makes a great catch



A young child fell from the awning of a building in Brooklyn and was caught by Joe Torre's daughter Christina.

Police said 23-year-old Sam Miller and 24-year-old Tiffany Demitro were charged with reckless endangerment, acting in a manner injurious to a child.

Their one year old baby boy, Dillin Miller, was observed hanging from a the awning of a store on the first floor of their Third Avenue apartment building just after 10 a.m

Dillin had apparently crawled through a piece of cardboard placed next to an air conditioning.

The child was left unsupervised by his parents, and was able to crawl onto a mattress next to the open window, and then crawl onto the fire escape.

The child fell off the fire escaped, tumbled down the awning and was about to fall to the ground but 44- year- old Christina Torre, who was biking past, was able to catch the victim before falling to the pavement.

She was on the phone with 911 trying to get the boy to hang on, when he dropped from the second story of this building.
"I just put out my arms when I saw him coming down, and luckily he landed straight in my arms on his back," Torre said.
