Paul O'Neill proposed to his wife over the phone on a collect call, O’Neill said during tonight’s YES broadcast. He was in the minor leagues and couldn’t wait to see her in person, apparently.
UPDATE: Via BleedinYankeeBlu on Twitter: O’Neill called her father before proposing.
UPDATE II: She picked out a ring O’Neill couldn’t afford, but she’s upgraded a few times since then. He was playing in the Florida State League when he proposed as a 21-year-old. They met when they were five. “Love story for the ages,” Michael Kay said.
That’s all I’ve got. Carry on.
