Plane circles Fenway Park for an hour towing banner imploring Red Sox ownership to sell the team
BOSTON (AP) — A small plane towing a banner imploring Red Sox ownership to sell the team flew over Fenway Park on Friday while Boston and the Houston Astros took batting practice.
The plane towed a banner with big red letters reading: “FIRE CRAIG! SELL THE TEAM!”
The banner was aimed at Craig Breslow, Boston’s chief baseball officer, and Red Sox principal owner John Henry.
Boston enters Friday game against the Astros in last place in the AL East, with a 12-19 record.
Breslow fired manager Alex Cora on April 25 after a 17-1 road victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
The small plane circled the ballpark for over an hour. Fans outside the park were seen looking up and trying to read the banner.
With the Red Sox off to such a poor start this season, chants of “Sell the team!” have been heard at Fenway. Last week, those chants grew louder after the Red Sox were swept at home by their longtime rivals, the New York Yankees.
The 50-year-old Cora was the manager of Boston’s last World Series team in 2018, which won a club-record 108 regular-season games. And, Cora was a member of the team’s 2007 World Series-winning club. Cora was 620-541 as Red Sox manager, and the first manager to be fired this season.
Henry also owns the Liverpool soccer team. Last week, fans protested against rising ticket prices.

Bus plunges into river after trainee driver crash, massive rescue response: reports
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A driver in training sent a bus careening into the River Seine near Paris Thursday after hitting a parked car and veering off the road, triggering a massive rescue operation, according to BBC and Reuters.
All four people on board were pulled to safety as more than 90 firefighters, divers and emergency crews — along with boats and a helicopter — responded, officials said.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and drug and alcohol tests came back negative.

The incident happened in France’s Juvisy-sur-Orge, about 12 miles south of Paris, as the driver was nearing the end of her practical training, transport officials told the BBC.
Authorities said the bus missed a turn near the riverbank, instead continuing straight and dragging a parked car into the water before plunging into the Seine, Reuters reported.
Dramatic images show the bus partially submerged as rescue crews surrounded it with some individuals on top of the vehicle while others worked in the water below.
