Dec. 3—One month after homering to help the Atlanta Braves win their first World Series championship in 26 years, Dansby Swanson has another reason to celebrate.
The former Marietta High School star proposed to his girlfriend, Mallory Pugh, and the veteran of the U.S. national soccer team player accepted.
Swanson and Pugh announced their engagement via pictures on their respective Instagram accounts Thursday, showing Swanson getting down on one knee and presenting Pugh with a diamond ring.
"Mr. and Mrs. Swanson coming soon," Swanson posted on his account, with Pugh responding with "Forever with you" on her account — each getting a number of congratulatory messages from their respective teammates.
