MLB Imagines

Eric Hosmer (KC Royals)

Eric & Laylah

I wasn't sure if the Royals were going to win the World Series. Making it to Game Seven was both nerve wracking and exciting at the same time, especially when my boyfriend was playing first base.

Eric played great throughout the entire game, but it all came down to the last inning. Lorenzo Cain was on third base in the last inning, hoping that Eric would work his magic and help them pull out a win.

With his bat in the air and his eyes on the ball, Eric was ready to hit on a 2-2 count. Madison Bumgarner threw the pitch as hard as he could, hoping Eric would not do what we all knew he was capable of. When he swung, the bat connected and the ball soared. After what seemed like an eternity, the ball made it into the stands. The Kansas City Royals had just won the World Series thanks to my boyfriend.

After a long celebration on the field, the players and their families were brought back to the locker room where we were soon drenched from champagne showers.

"I fucking love you, Laylah! Will you marry me?" Eric yelled over all the noise.

It was as if everyone had just seen a ghost. They all stared at Eric and I, waiting for an answer.

"Eric, are, are you sure about this?" I stuttered.

He held up a finger and ran to his locker, digging around in his bag. He ran back over to me and quickly got down on one knee, holding out a beautiful diamond ring. It was the most gorgeous ring I'd ever seen, but maybe I was a bit biased because of who was giving it to me.

"Yes, Eric, yes!" I yelled as he slid it on my finger.

The hoots and hollers resumed as my new fiancé and I celebrated two milestones in our lives.
