There goes the ballgame.

[Quick Shot]

Baseball is for beer, dogs, popcorn, and crackerjacks.... Not wedding proposals....

[Maceman]

What no video? This could be the birth of a new Internet star.

[Lucky9teen]

Maybe that was his third strike?

[Southack]

Perhaps choosing AC/DC’s “Shot Down In Flames” failed to set the right ambiance?!

[keat]

Been there.

Oh well. If she couldn't accept a marriage proposal in front of a baseball crowd, she was the wrong kind of woman for him. The humiliation was considerable but it saved him from a nasty divorce later down the road.

I feel really bad for the guy, but he really should not have made the proposal so public if he was not sure she would accept. Sometimes men are so dense. (I’m a woman.) I probably would have pretended to accept in public to keep him from being so embarrassed.

[dfwgator]

I bet it was all an act.

I probably would have pretended to accept in public to keep him from being so embarrassed.

See, you're nice.

If *I* was a woman and I got a proposal on the big video board, if I didn't want the guy, I would have not only emphatically said no......

....... I would have held my fingers up to the camera really close together, as if to indicate, "Thiiiiiis tiny!"

MuhuhuhHUHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!!

[dfwgator]

That was a hoax.

[dfwgator]

Oops that was a different one. But I’m still sure these are all hoaxes.

[YourAdHere]

Sounds to me like the intended groom dodged a MAJOR bullet.

[GraniteStateConservative]

The only thing noteworthy is that garbage heap pitchers like Tim Redding can be superstars in the National League.

[Lazamataz]

I would never turn you down, B4Ranch.

That's cuz we should have sex.

[Bigg Red]

Yes, we women are just too nice for our own good sometimes. Men are so mean to each other. Yet when there is a crisis or a problem to be solved men can work together even if they don’t like each other. I have always envied that characteristic in men.

[Nea Wood]

Why is everyone assuming that the guy dodged a bullet? We don’t know the whole story. She may have had a good reason for reacting with such horror. :-)

Ego babe....Ego.
