Like was in the air at Dodger Stadium on Opening Day. And on the ground.
A fan’s marriage proposal ended in extra than a thud and a whimper right after he rushed the field to drop down on one particular knee, only to be decked and detained by stadium safety. The scene, which has considering that gone viral, unfolded among innings of the Dodgers’ eight-two win more than the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Clad in a Mookie Betts jersey, the fan who identified himself on social media as Ricardo Juarez ran into the outfield just before turning toward the bleachers and proposing to his girlfriend, Ramona Saavedra. A sprinting safety guard arrived a moment later and delivered a hit that would make Ronnie Lott proud, hilariously prompting the stadium DJ to play DMX’s “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” though Juarez was handcuffed and escorted away.
The theatrics apparently didn’t curb the couple’s engagement — she mentioned yes.
“Tad bit intense but he’s a LEO what can you anticipate,” Saavedra posted to Instagram. “And of course I mentioned YES!”
