Man slapped after proposing with Ring Pop at Toronto Blue Jays game

A marriage proposal made in front of a crowd at a Major League Baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox took a distressing turn, leaving startled onlookers in dismay.

If you're going to propose in front of lots of people, make sure you're really sure the answer will be "yes."

Look at this baseball fan for instance.

Even if you kneel down and propose at a big baseball game with your partner, things might not go as planned.

In a video that quickly became popular, a fan is shown stopping his girlfriend while she walks down the stairs to her seat in the stadium.

The man then guides his bewildered girlfriend closer to him, gives her a kiss, and expresses his love for her before he starts to kneel down.

This leaves the young woman astonished, with her hand covering her mouth, as she anticipates what is about to occur.


This action immediately captures the attention of spectators seated in the nearby grandstand of the Rogers Centre.

People start taking out their phones to record what unfolds next.

Expecting the proposal to go off without a hitch, the game's official camera crew also began recording the incident to display on the large screens.

Taking a knee on the stairs, the man takes out a black box from his left jeans pocket. To the astonishment of both the woman and the crowd, he opens the box to reveal a Ring Pop.

As soon as she sees the red lollipop ring, the young woman promptly slaps her partner, causing dismayed reactions from Blue Jays fans in the form of shocked screams.
