What a catch!

It was really cool. Last Friday, because Memorial Day was coming up, the St. Louis Cardinals broadcast their baseball game live to a particular regiment of troops over in Afghanistan. They invited all the miltary families to the stadium, and during the game the family members could talk live to some of the troops in that regiment. So husband got to talk to wife, son got to talk to dad, ect. But to open the game they always have someone throw out a first pitch. Since it was in honor of Memorial Day they had a girfriend of a soldier in the unit that was being shown the game, throw out the first pitch. And they got a member of the Army in uniform, to catch the first pitch. It is customary for the person who threw the pitch to then go shake the hand of the person who caught it. The woman went up to the man, he took his catcher's mask off - and it was her boyfriend! She had no idea he had arrived stateside. She ran into his arms and they hugged and hugged. Then he got down on his knees and proposed. She, of course, said yes. I thought that was really cool. How were you proposed to? Or men, how did you propose? I think the best way a guy could propose to me is to take me to a Yankee game. I'd be so thrilled I'd probably say yes to anything. lol I would never propose to a guy though. I know some women nowadays feel free to do that, but I'm old fashioned. He'd have to propose marriage to me, not the other way around. I can't imagine how nervewracking proposing would be though!
