AKRON — A man paid $5 to send a scoreboard message to his girlfriend at an Akron baseball game over the weekend, but it wasn’t to celebrate a special occasion.
An Akron RubberDucks fan, reportedly named Tim, used his fan shout-out to send a message that read: “Alyssa, this relationship is OVER. -Tim,” according to our news partners at WBNS-TV.
RubberDucks creative services coordinator Jack Haines confirmed that the message, which has since gone viral on social media, is real and that the fan who purchased it paid $5 to do so, WBNS-TV reported.
However, he was unable to verify the identities of either Tim or Alyssa.
“We don’t know Tim or Alyssa right now,” Haines said. “Fan shoutouts are submitted without us asking for any type of ID so we don’t know who they are. Maybe our fans can help us.”
