A sports-betting company hired a plane to hover above the Boston Red Sox with a banner blasting team ownership.
The aircraft circled over Fenway Park, trailing a banner behind it that read, “FIRE CRAIG! SELL THE TEAM!” in red letters.
The flyover was commissioned by the online sports betting company Underdog, which wants Sox owner John Henry to fire Craig Breslow.
Fans are blaming Breslow, the team’s chief baseball officer who Henry ordered fire manager Alex Cora.
They also want Henry to sell the team, which has had an abysmal season so far showing a 13-19 start.
Underdog created the banner and sent it to Fitchburg, where a plane was commissioned to fly from Fitchburg Municipal Airport to Fenway and back.
The betting outfit came up with the idea of a flyover after the Sox fired manager Cora and most of their coaching staff last week.
The flyover stunt occurred Friday for the first home game since Cora got the axe.
