Dodgers fan rushes field to propose to girlfriend, gets pummeled by security
One Los Angeles Dodgers fan’s marriage proposal on Opening Day came at a painful price.
Cell phone cameras were rolling as a man wearing a Mookie Betts jersey ran onto the field during a break in the game, dropped down to a knee, and held up a ring box for his girlfriend who was seated in the outfield seats.
Many in the crowd cheered, but those cheers quickly turned to gasps when, seconds later, a security guard blindsided the proposing fan, brutally tackling him to the ground.
Other guards arrived and handcuffed him as he lay face-down.
The man, who appeared to be shaken up, was then escorted off the field and play resumed.
“She said YES 🙌🏻🙌🏻la amo,” Ricardo Juarez later posted on Instagram. His fiancee, Ramona Saavedra, shared a photo of the newly-engaged couple.
“Tad bit extreme 😂🙌🏼 but he’s a LEO what can you expect 😂 And of course I said YES ! 🫶🏼,” Saavedra posted.
The Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-2 on Thursday night.
