Yankee Fan Loses Ring, Almost Blows Jumbotron Proposal

Andrew Fox of New Castle, Pennsylvania was in Center Field in Section 228 with his girlfriend Heather Terwilliger, when, during the fifth inning of the game, he dropped to one knee to propose.

When the couple appeared on the stadium scoreboard, which Fox had arranged, people began cheering.

And that’s when he dropped the ring.

No worries, though.  In a fine example of Yankee pride, the crowd around them began frantically searching for the ring.  And fortunately, they soon found it — it had fallen into the cuff of Terwilliger’s jeans.

Fox got back down on his knee and a teary-eyed Terwilliger said yes.

The icing on the cake?  The Yankees beat the Red Sox, ending their eleven-game winning streak.

MLB has posted videos from the incident, which social media quickly dubbed #RingGate, on their Facebook page.
