When Ravens receptionist Toni Lekas’ Ravens Super Bowl XLVII ring was accidentally dropped into the Chesapeake Bay, it was just the beginning of her wild, and somewhat nightmarish, tale.
On Aug. 3, 2013, during a Middle River Yacht Club party, Lekas’ boyfriend lost the ring in the water when docking a boat. A rope caught his finger and yanked it off. An exhaustive search that night and even a hired diver looking the next day couldn’t find the ring.
Lekas eventually gave up and filed an insurance claim and a request to the NFL to create a replacement ring, which were both approved.
