Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena is in high demand, especially with the ladies at Monday's championship parade. Thanks to his spectacular rookie season, which included the World Series MVP, Pena was the cynosure of all eyes. A sign held up by a woman addressing the 25-year-old rookie during the parade did not go unnoticed.
"Peña, will you marry me?" it read.
Adam Winkler, the sports anchor for ABC13, questioned Pena about his current feelings:
"I'm not sure if I've seen more love signs or proposals."
Peña answered:
"This is how we do it. We do it for the city,"
Unfortunately for the women hoping to get married to the University of Maine alum, Pena is already committed to someone else.

The 25-year-old also became the first rookie position player in history to win the Fall Classic MVP award. He was also among the Astros players with the largest fanbase during the team's World Series parade on Monday.
