Shelby Fetsch was supposed to throw out the first pitch at Busch Stadium last night. She was filling in for her boyfriend, Army SPC William Johanson-Kubin, who was supposed to be stationed overseas. He played the part of the catcher disguising his face with the catcher’s mask. After she threw the pitch, she was in for the suprise of her life.

'Shelby Fetsch came to the ballpark thinking she was throwing out the first pitch while representing her longtime boyfriend who was serving in Afghanistan. Little did she know, she would be leaving with a ring.

It was touching moment that brought the crowd to its feet. A great way to start off Memorial Day Weekend!'

KAAACHINGGG, she leaves with a RINGGG....[a grand slam in the stadium of life]

..WAY TO GO SHELBY AND BILL have a great life together!

Wonder why Obama wasn’t there to push her out of the way so he could pitch the 1st ball and grab some votes?
