Quote of the Day: Brendan Ryan on his ring bearer, Felix Hernandez
Mar 29, 2012, 11:33 AM EDT
AP If you’re into the sappy love stuff, there’s a story over at MLB.com about how the Mariners’ Brendan Ryan proposed to his girlfriend in Tokyo yesterday. Just … awwwwwww.
But the best part was when Ryan was talking about the logistics of his proposal. Specifically, how he got the rock over to Japan:
The hyperactive Ryan thought of everything on this one, even realizing he shouldn’t trust himself to bring the engagement ring with him to Japan.
“One of the smartest things I ever did was give that thing to Felix [Hernandez],” Ryan said, “because I figured if anybody was going to lose it, he could afford it.”
Once again, the burden falls on King Felix.

Apparenly Felix laughs in the face of all types of pressure.

Ichiro could have afforded it, too. However, Felix was clearly the right choice: he’s got Larry Bernandez to help him out.

How much was the ring? The MLB minimum salary is similar to the President of the United States. I think it would have been okay regardless!

Do we know if Felix complained of the ring getting heavier and heavier the closer he got to Mount Fuji?

Wonder if Ryan proposed as De Niro or Walken?
