According to multiple reports, Hedges popped the question on the field after the game, with the stadium jumbotron displaying the message 'Lexi will you marry me?' Dickinson said yes. Hedges scored the first run of the game in the victory.
Hedges and Dickinson began dating in November 2024. Hedges said he had the ring since 'early spring training' and planned the proposal 'a couple of weeks ago,' intending to do it regardless of the game outcome. 'I was going to do it regardless... but I really wanted to win that game to make it extra special,' Hedges said in a press conference. He added, 'I was just trying to figure out when the right time was.'

Some fans criticized the proposal on social media, with one user asking, 'Who proposes to their girlfriend when they're at work??' and another commenting, 'Dude is worth a few million and that's how he does it?' The exact date of the proposal and the Guardians organization's public reaction remain unknown.

I’m always nervous for baseball games, but just trying to stay present, knowing there were some activities after made it harder.
It was a special day. A special day to be able to soak it all in.
Now, we’re going to go to dinner and then just have a night to ourselves and enjoy it.
