Shawn Johnson threw out the first pitch and soon NFL player dropped on his knees as he asked 23-year-old Dancing With the Stars winner, who attended the game along with a Team USA gymnast Alicia Sacramone, to be his wife.

Sacramone posted a collage of pictures captioned, "Pretty eventful day–throwing out the first pitch, walking on out hands…and @shawnjohnson getting engaged to our boy @Andrewdeast #casual #nbd #happytears."
