Oakland Athletics pitcher Sean Doolittle first developed a rapport with American rock band Smash Mouth in October, when the group found itself in an unlikely Twitter feud with his team during the World Series.
More than three months later, the relationship between Doolittle and Northern California-based Smash Mouth might have played a role in the left-handed reliever's proposal to girlfriend Eireann Dolan -- a successful occasion that he celebrated by posting a photo of the couple in gnome form on Thursday afternoon.

Dolan had apparently also come to know Smash Mouth via the social media platform.
