Welcome back to another evening in the ballpark. In the sport of baseball, dreams come true, beers are spilled, and peanuts are tossed across the stands with more precision than the opposing team’s starting pitcher. Baseball is a game built on patience, team harmony, and a lot of waiting around for something to happen on the field. 

However, every once in a while, a game manages to inspire a unique form of enthusiasm within the crowd. Tonight’s broadcast covers three stadiums and answers a question asked by baseball fans across decades: how can you not be romantic during a baseball game?

Beginning in Toronto, the Blue Jays were hosting the Chicago Cubs at the Rogers Centre. As the crowd settled in for a night full of baseball, one pair of fans had other plans. High above the field in the upper deck, baseball became a contact sport. The seventh-inning stretch began, but two fans were not waving their arms or singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”

As the couple swung for the fences, security came quickly, hustling through the section faster than a relief pitcher leaving the game after loading the bases. However, by the time they arrived, the couple had already rounded home plate and was bringing the game into extra innings. Ironically, this incident occurred as the Blue Jays secured their 69th win of the 2022 season.

Meanwhile, in Oakland, the Athletics’ stadium, famous for its empty seats and unusual aura, hosts a different kind of play. During a 2022 game against the Seattle Mariners, one couple attempted to lie low in section 334. As the A’s secured a 5–3 win against the Mariners, the players were not the only ones covering every possible base.

After fleeing the scene, the happy pair was not caught in the act. They managed to get away and likely had more fun than anyone else in the Oakland Coliseum.

Finally, in the city that never sleeps, the New York Yankees took on the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2025, two visiting fans got a little too caught up in the action. Somewhere high in the stands, the couple decided to hit a grand slam, cementing themselves in the stadium’s rich history.

This is certainly not the first instance of a couple enjoying Yankee Stadium a little more than the average person. Over a decade prior, a different pair was caught ‘warming up’ in the bathrooms near the left-field bleachers. One bystander noted that this went on from “about the 2nd through the 4th or 5th inning.”

By the time the final out of the on-field game is recorded, the scoreboard tells one version of events, while the upper deck tells another. Across stadiums and countries alike, baseball turns on couples who can’t wait for the game to end. They manage to rack up extra base hits without anyone tagging them out. That is certainly a unique way to ‘get into the game.’
