【surreal eroticism】

It was Tuesday night and surreal eroticismeverything seemed perfect. Two Yankee fans in love were watching their team take on the Boston Red Sox.

He had the ring -- ready to blast their relationship into the stratosphere like Derek Jeter hitting a home run.

I mean, just look at his expression.

"Oh, that poor guy," says the announcer, before making a joke about the dude's Mariano Rivera jersey.

"He needs Mariano to come in for the save."

Luckily, no relief pitcher was needed to complete the proposal. Someone found the ring and the crowd erupted in wild applause. The Yankees got a base hit, and our hero got down on one knee.

Don't worry, she said yes. The couple discussed the ordeal afterward, revealing that the ring had fallen into a crease in her jeans.

Once again, baseball proves that sometimes what goes on in the stands is more interesting than what actually happens on the field.
