Imagine paying $100 to propose to your girlfriend in front of more than 50,000 people inside Yankee Stadium … Only to lose the ring.
That’s what happened to Mr. Fox below at the Yankees game Tuesday night. The hardcore fan told his girlfriend to look up at the jumbo-tron as soon as they went on camera, only to lose the engagement ring.
Allegedly, the ring was found in the girl’s pant-leg after about a five-minute search.
The ESPN play-by-play, which is even more entertaining, can be found here.
An interview with the couple afterwards can be found here.
If this ‘ring-gate’ is real, it’s a story that will remain in their family for life. If it’s all staged, it’s pure genius and this couple deserve an Academy Award.
