A Tampa Bay Rays fan who miraculously survived being stabbed 32 times by an ex-boyfriend in 2012 received a romantic surprise on Monday when her current boyfriend proposed to her on the mound after she threw out a ceremonial first pitch.
After performing her first pitch duties, Melissa Dohme was greeted by boyfriend Cameron Hill, who presented her with a baseball on which the message, “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” was written. He then got on bended knee, opened up a black box to offer her an engagement ring.
What makes this already amazing story even more remarkable is that Hill was one of the first responders who came to Dohme’s assistance as she lay dying in the street outside her home, where her boyfriend had left her for dead after the horrific stabbing attack.
