How sweet! ESPN reports on the perfect night that Houston shortstop Carlos Correa had during the last game of the World Series:
First, the star Houston shortstop became a World Series champion when the Astros toppled the Dodgers 5-1 in Game 7 in Los Angeles.
Then, while the Astros were celebrating on the Dodger Stadium field, Correa proposed to his girlfriend…

“Daniella Rodriguez, will you make me the happiest man in the world?” he asked while on one knee. “Will you marry me?”
She said yes — and you can see from the video that the ring is gorgeous.
Correa told ESPN: “… I was planning if we were World Series champions, I was going to do it right there,” Correa said. “I don’t think that’s a stage you can create; it just has to happen. And we were able to win tonight, so perfect timing for me to get engaged.
“I’ve been thinking about it for months now, but I was waiting for the perfect opportunity, you know. I knew we had a great team, we could accomplish this, and I wasn’t wrong.”
He said that he didn’t want to jinx the outcome of the game, but he told one of the clubbies to go get the ring if they got three outs:
“One of the clubbies, I talked to him in the ninth inning, and I’m like, ‘I don’t want to jinx anything, but if we get the three outs, please bring me the ring because I am going to get engaged in the ballpark.'”
What a sweet story — and it’s nice to see Houston win after all that they’ve gone through as a city.
