A fan gets tackled on the field during his proposal.  This video is going viral after after a Dodgers fan tried to propose on the field Thursday night at Dodger Stadium.

The video shows Ricardo Juarez running onto the outfield wearing Mookie Betts' No. 50 jersey, dropping to one knee, pulling out a ring and proposing to his girlfriend in the stands. But the romantic gesture quickly turns violent when he is slammed by stadium security and tackled to the ground.  The ring went flying into the air.

Seconds later more security arrives pinning Juarez to the ground and handcuffing him.  When they finally let him get up to escort him off the field, he got a standing ovation.

Ricardo thought this would be the perfect way to propose as he and his girlfriend love baseball and are big Dodgers fans.  The proposal didn't got as planned.

What Did She Say?

Ramona Saavedra is wearing the ring after she said yes.  She posted a picture on Instagram.  She said the proposal was a bit extreme, but of course she said yes.

The celebrations for Dodgers fans continued with an 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks to kick off an exciting season.

Top Five Country Stars Who Also Played Baseball

Major League Baseball kicks off today (3/30) with the season's first games. As we mark the start of a new season, we look at country singers who have also played baseball either through high school, semi-professional, or as a country superstar with baseball dreams to fulfill.

Let's count down five country stars who have also spent a reasonable amount of time in the batter's box.

5 - Eric Church

Eric played many sports in high school. He played baseball, basketball, football, and golf until a knee injury during his sophomore year in high school derailed his dreams of going pro. He told Greensboro.com a few years back, "I even played golf because, in my junior and senior years of high school, I realized that if you were a golfer, you got to leave at 10 a.m. to go to matches. You didn't have to be at school all day, and, well, that's me right there (laughs). So I picked up golf real quick when I realized you got to get out of class."

4 - Kenny Chesney

Kenny played baseball at Corryton, Tennessee's Gibbs High School. He told ESPN several years ago why he was a die-hard Red Sox fan. He said, "It's a product of, oddly enough, where I grew up. I didn't grow up in the Northeast or New England at all. But when I was a kid, growing up, we didn't have cable.The only access to baseball I had was 'This Week in Baseball,' and I looked forward to that as a kid. The only games they had on Saturdays always seemed like the Red Sox or Cincinnati Reds." He added, "I loved those two teams growing up. Even playing Little League, I wanted to be on either the Reds or the Sox as a kid, so that's where it started."

3 - Scotty McCreery
