ON BENDED KNEE — Major League Baseball announced its return with a bang on Thursday, as did the on-field security at Dodger Stadium.
Dodger fan Ricardo Juarez was recorded hopping onto the field and taking a knee to propose to girlfriend Ramona Saavedra, as captured on camera by Twitter user @Mazeaveli, during the team's Opening Day win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, only to be tackled shortly thereafter by stadium security.

The stadium DJ played DMX's "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" while Juarez was handcuffed and escorted away. Luckily, the antics and their consequences did not deter Saavedra, as she announced shortly after on Instagram she said "yes."
The Twitter video has 6.9 million views as of Friday and gave baseball fans an early viral moment to ring in the new season.
