BOSTON -- A few fans seated above the Green Monster dropped down a sign that read "Racism is as American as baseball" during the fourth inning of the Red Sox's game against Oakland at Fenway Park on Wednesday night.
The sign was draped over the top middle of the Monster had a black background with white letters.
It was up for about one batter. There was a spattering of boos from the crowd as Red Sox security forced them to remove it and escorted the people from their seats.
Umpire Joe West and police were seen on the field discussing what happened.
