Fans were removed from Fenway Park during Wednesday's game between the Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox after a banner with the caption "Racism is as American as baseball" was hung from the Green Monster.
Comcast SportsNet New England's Evan Drellich provided an image of the banner being displayed:
Per ESPN's Marly Rivera, third base umpire Joe West and Boston police officials worked in conjunction with Fenway Park security to remove the fans holding the sign from the stadium.
The fans unraveled the sign and displayed it on the Green Monster in left field after the top of the fourth inning.
