Is there anything more cliche than proposing to your girlfriend at a New York Yankees game? What is this Anger Management? Look, the thing about proposing at a major league baseball game is that it’s incredibly risky. It’s late September and the Yankees are still in contention. There were a lot of people at that game tonight. What if she said no?
She didn’t say no, but that’s not the point. I’d be way too in my own head to pull off a stunt like this. All of those people and me and my hypothetical girlfriend on the jumbotron would make me so nervous I’d throw up and then probably pull a move similar to what this guy did.
Sounds like everything was going swimmingly until he dropped the ring and couldn’t find it. You have to be better. It’s a dog eat dog world in The Big Apple. I’m glad she said yes, though. That’ll be a hell of a story for the grandchildren if this couple beats the statistical odds and doesn’t get divorced..

Is it just me or is proposing at a sporting event stupid and unoriginal? Then again, I know nothing about women.
I feel like if it’s not a place that’s special to both of you, or at least her, then don’t do it. If she’s just casually into sports and goes more for the instagram than the game, then yeah, it’s really stupid. But hey, maybe they’re both idiots and deserve each other.
I could see if the girl is a diehard fan of the team you’re watching.
i would like it if someone proposed to me at a penguins game. but then again, i would be on the ice playing…so that might be awkward.
Some parody accounts are funny. This won’t be one of them.
if you want to talk about something funny, let’s talk about the toronto maple leafs.
ps: not trying to be a parody account
phil kessel isn’t funny, so it’s only fitting.
not trying to be a parody account, btw.
The NECN broadcast showed the couple post finding the ring, she was showing it off to everyone around them and he was scrolling through this phone looking bored.
Question: What happens after the proposal? Do you stay and watch the game? Like, awesome, glad I got that checked off my list of things to do now I can relax and watch the game? Or Do you go just go home?
You’d expect them to either want to celebrate with friends and family or head home and consummate said engagement. I’d prefer the latter but I couldn’t be more single, so what do I know…
If this would have been in Philly everyone would have told him to go fuck himself. I miss that place
No way this is real. Dude drops an at least $5k ring and that’s his and her reaction? Not buying it.
If I found it, I’m still undecided if I would have said anything. Yeah I’m an asshole.
Meanwhile, at the local pawn shop… “3 karat ring? Best I can do is $400.”
Having watched this in real time and that the entire section was digging around for a good 5 minutes, seeing the sheer look of terror on this guy’s face at what he might have lost multiple times, was def legit.
Happy they found the ring, but had a great time hearing the commentators clown on this guy’s demise for a half inning.
