Dodgers infielder gives take on infamous Opening Day on-field proposal

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas discussed one of the season's wackiest moments on Tuesday, detailing what it was like to witness a security guard's trucking of a fan during his on-field proposal on Opening Day.

Rojas -- who joined the Dodgers via a January trade they made with the Miami Marlins -- started the team's first four games of the season but has only played once since the opening series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He suffered a groin injury earlier in April but was in the lineup for the eventful opener. Los Angeles was at bat during the incident, however, putting him hundreds of feet away from the colossal tackle.

The 34-year-old Rojas has gotten off to a frosty 2-for-17 start with his new team.

It was reported last week that the tackled fan -- Ricardo Juarez -- received a one-year ban from Dodger Stadium because of the incident. On a positive note, Juarez is now engaged, as his now-fiancée Ramona Saavedra said yes to his unconventional (and painful) proposal.
