It?s probably the most popular photo from the 2011 World Series ? David Freese notwithstanding. It was during Game 6 that this girl held up the sign that captivated America. We all wondered who she was, but only Andy Gray of SI Vault actually tracked her down. That could have gone two ways: restraining order, or interview. Thankfully, he got an interview.
Turns out her name is Katie Siepman, a 28-year-old St. Louis resident and communication specialist at Valparaiso. Excerpts:
?It wasn?t exactly that he put a ring and tickets on the table and told me to pick one. We?ve been together for several years now and are pretty confident that marriage is in the cards, but he is definitely not in a hurry. Every once in a while, I?ll give him a hard time about it and he?s always quick to change the subject. A week or two before this game (I think we were still playing the Brewers) I brought it up again and he changed the subject to World Series tickets. He told me he got us tickets to Game 6 and I was so thrilled I told him I?d never bring it up again. For the record ? it was totally worth it. Game 6 was incredible.
?When I first turned around with the sign, everyone behind me in the section went nuts. Nobody really asked questions, but I got a lot of high fives.
?I heard from people in Denver, Chicago, Paris who had seen it. I?ve also heard all kinds of crazy stories about it ? that I photoshopped my face in, that it?s not really me, that I?m really already married, and that now I?m dating David Freese. All false.?
For the record, the guy?s name is Scott, and they?ve been dating for four years. Which is three years too many. Get off your a**, buddy, or you?re gonna blow it.
