Joe Torre’s daughter Cristina saves falling baby with perfect catch: 'You just move into action — you don’t really think about it'

She never took her eye off the baby.

The daughter of Yankee legend Joe Torre heroically caught a year-old boy who fell from the awning of a Brooklyn storefront Wednesday.

Cristina Torre, 44, said she was sipping coffee outside Little Cupcake Bake Shop on Third Ave. in Bay Ridge when several bystanders spotted little Dillin Miller dangling from the awning of a frozen yogurt shop next door at about 10 a.m.

“He looked like he was balancing on one of the railings,” Torre told the Daily News. “I didn’t really know what was going to happen. . . . You just move into action — you don’t really think about it.”

6. Good thing it wasn't a daughter of an ex Mets Manager!

Unless it was an offspring of Gil Hodges who channeled the Ron Swoboda catch it would have been ugly.

10. Hey! Swoboda made the catch!

Ok, it would have been a hard landing for the tot.

(Amazing summer, that. First the moon landing, then the Amazin' Mets. To a kid in Queens, it seemed like anything in the world was possible.)

9. I like what she said in the Article!

She said she likely inherited her fielding instincts from her father — who was an all-star catcher during many of his 18 seasons in the majors, before leading the Bronx Bombers to four World Series titles as their manager.

“I get my good hand-eye coordination from him,” she quipped.
