An embarrassing video appears to show the moment a man’s marriage proposal at a minor league baseball game in Massachusetts goes horribly wrong — as his girlfriend publicly rejects him and runs away!
In the footage, the unnamed guy pops the question in front of a crowd of fans in a dugout at a Worcester Red Sox home game last week.
The would-be romantic gesture prompted cheers — but instead of swooning, his stunned girlfriend put her hands over her mouth and shook her head “no.” “I have to go,” she can be heard saying — before bolting up the stairs and leaving him alone on one knee.
The cringe-inducing proposal, which was also played on the stadium’s massive screen, sparked speculation from witnesses that the moment was so awful, it had to have been staged.
But a source with knowledge of the incident says the proposal was planned and that family members of the couple were in the crowd — one sign that it was a real-life romantic fumble.
