When Fox pulled the ring from his pocket and dropped to one knee before Terwilliger to propose during the fifth inning of the Yankees' game, the ring dropped to the ground. A frantic search ensued. After about five minutes, Terwilliger looked down and saw something shiny in the cuff of her pants leg. (Scott Orgera via AP)

Because every proposal story includes searching for the ring: https://t.co/KvxY6WwLEU pic.twitter.com/MLGo5XiATv

Note to self: When proposing, don't lose the ring. Especially in public.

If we don't find it, this will be the biggest fail in history.

Andrew Fox

Andrew Fox attempted to propose to his girlfriend Heather Terwilliger during Tuesday night's game against the Boston Red Sox.

A stadium camera operator started broadcasting the moment to the stadium, but cut away when it was clear Fox had lost the ring. Other fans joined in a frantic search, and Terwilliger found the ring in her cuffed pants. She said yes.

Yankees Stadium host Gary Hamilton interviewed the couple after the game.

Leave it to a Yankees fan to lose the engagement ring mid-proposal #ESPNNotTopTenPlays

Twitter, of course, loved this.

Best play of the Yankees game: Jumbotron proposal, cut to the couple, the guy realizes he lost the ring, sheer PANIC on his face.

This might have been a little too much schadenfreude.

Unbelievably dramatic wedding proposal at Yankees-Red Sox game https://t.co/HR5hIkwWXZ

There was more drama than the action on the field.

If none of you are watching the proposal on the Yankees Red Sox game...it was the SECOND most unbelievable moment of the year. HILARIOUS

Wait... what was number one?

Pro-tip: on your Jumbotron proposal at a Yankees game, don't drop the ring and not be able to find it. 😆😆😆 #fail
