Watch: Marlins fan poses as catcher for 1st pitch, then proposes

MLB.com

If you're going to give your love a diamond ring, you might as well do it on a diamond.

Before Wednesday night's game at Marlins Park, Miami Marlins fan Marlyn Sanchez threw out the ceremonial first pitch to a Marlins catcher squatting in full gear. The pitch was off-line, but nobody minded much. The "catcher" turned out to be her boyfriend - now fiance - Ralph Cabrera, who immediately ditched the mask and got down on one knee to propose to a shocked Marlyn, presenting her with the ring he'd hidden inside a hollowed-out baseball.

Of course, Marlyn didn't need any time before she said "yes."

Making the day even more special for Marlyn and Ralph was the fact the Marlins gave them a post-proposal win, beating the Dodgers 6-5.

Congrats to the happy couple.
