Pillar helps Blue Jays fan propose to girlfriend before Game 1 of ALDS
It seems to be engagement season.
To help celebrate and join in on the fun, a Toronto Blue Jays fan enlisted the help of outfielder Kevin Pillar to pop the question to his girlfriend before Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Thursday:

He even printed the picture out and brought it to the game with them:
I put a ring on her. Thanks @KPILLAR4! #cometogether #mlbpostseason @timandsid @MLBNetwork pic.twitter.com/xzRoD5h0p5

Naturally, Pillar was happy for the couple:

Hopefully the happiness of their engagement helped overshadow the loss for the Blue Jays. They'll hope to even the series vs. the Texas Rangers in Game 2 on Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET.
