In 1999, 11-year –old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother’s Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. The sun slanting across the field, the game unfolding in baseball time, Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate ,where another youngster was warming up. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could collect, the boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin square in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground , the mother of one the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn’t planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift at the hospital had been changed , and she was given the night off.
Penny bent over the unconscious boy , his face already starting to turn blue, and applied CPR, breathing into his mouth and doing chest compressions(按压)
And he came back.
It was a good thing, for a good kid. Kevin wasn’t just a volunteer for his brother’s baseball team he was a Boy Scout(童子军) , learning various useful skills. Kevin later became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working  as a dishwasher in a local restaurant. He liked the people, but the work could be hard and pretty routine until the afternoon of January 27 2006.
Kevin was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming. He rushed into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue ,her hands at her throat. She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her and wrapped his arms around her. Then using skills he’d learned in Scouts, he jerked inward and up ,once , twice, using the Heimlich maneuver. The food that was trapped in the woman’s throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
“ The food was stuck. I couldn’t breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.”
Guess who the woman was? Penny Brown.
