Watch: Boston Fans Stumble Upon Red Sox 2018 AL East Title Banner on Side of Highway

With a 10.5 game lead, the Boston Red Sox are almost guaranteed to clinch the American League East this season. The New York Yankees prevented Boston from winning their third straight division title on Tuesday night, but the championship is imminent.

In preparation, the Red Sox had a 2018 title banner made for Fenway Park. However, the banner has yet to arrive at its destination.

Three unsuspecting fans found the honorary sign wrapped up on the side of the street just outside of Boston after it fell out of the delivery truck.

"One person ran it over and hit it a little bit," one of the fans, Louie Iacuzzi, told WFXT-TV.
