Former Mariners pitcher Bill Krueger is back working as a baseball analyst thanks to the quick response of a group of workers at a Bellevue sports club.

Krueger returned to the Pro Sports Club on Thursday to thank the men and women who saved his life after he collapsed on a treadmill earlier this month.

"I'm humbly here to appreciate the quick reactions of the folks here at the Pro Club, the Bellevue and Redmond Fire Department," Krueger tells KING 5.

KING 5 reports Kreuger suffered cardiac arrest and was saved by quick action of club staff who used an automatic external defibrillator to shock his heart back to life, then performed CPR until aid workers arrived on the scene.

Krueger is doing fine and returned soon after the episode to his role on Root Sports.

  Defibrillators do not "shock your heart back to life" as you wrote. Come on Josh Kerns, at least get the details right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrillator#In_popular_culture That being said, I'm glad he's ok!

  I work there and I am proud of our boys who helped Bill Krueger to stay with us. The Pro Sports Club has a lot of great things they offer... now it looks like they can add life saviors to the list. Well done gentlemen!
