Red Sox Fan's Proposal Quickly Unravels into Awkward Ballpark Moment

The jumbotron video featured Douglas and Serah Linn in their seats as the graphic, "Sereh Linn, will you marry me?" flashed on the screen.

The couple appeared to exchange some words, according to social media footage, as fans inside Fenway Park waited to react. Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald speculated on X if Sereh Linn said, "I don't know," in response to the proposal.

Douglas then leaned in for a kiss, to which Serah Linn obliged, but neither appeared to celebrate much after.

It didn't take long for the social media chorus to chime in, with one X user, who claimed to be in attendance at Sunday's game, stating: "I was there as well. It was very uncomfortable." Another added, "Oh nooooooo…. They were definitely not in the same page."

One X user even called the moment the "most uncomfortable ballpark proposal in Fenway history."

The awkward moment was even referenced on the popular Instagram account Art But Make It Sports, comparing Douglas and Serah Linn's Jumbotron moment to the painting, An Embarrassing Proposal, by Jean-Antoine Watteau circa 1715-16.

A handful of Red Sox fans said the moment was emblematic of the dreadful season the team is having. "I wouldn't want to get proposed to while being surrounded by a dumpster fire either,"one fan said on X. Another wrote: "I would not be happy being proposed to during the worst Sox season since my birth, either. That's not good juju."

The Red Sox parted ways with manager Alex Cora after a disappointing 10-17 start in late April, along with five members of the coaching staff, per MLB.com.

Boston is at the bottom of the American League East standings.
