Plane circles Fenway Park for an hour towing banner imploring Red Sox ownership to sell the team
- On Friday, a plane circled Fenway Park for over an hour trailing a "FIRE CRAIG!" banner targeting Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and Red Sox principal owner John Henry.
- Public frustration has reached new heights following the team's 12-19 start and the firing of manager Alex Cora on April 25, leaving Boston at the bottom of the American League East.
- Online sports betting company Underdog commissioned the flyover from Fitchburg Municipal Airport, with a spokesperson stating, "The fans deserve to be heard, we want to amplify their voices."
- Henry is the second MLB principal owner targeted by a flyover in the last year, a tactic previously used by frustrated fans of the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins.
- The Red Sox have also parted ways with hitting coach Peter Fatse and bench coach Vazquez amid a challenging season, recording only 21 home runs and compiling a.660 OPS.
