Cardinals Fans Use Airplane to Stop Red Sox (Unsuccessfully)

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • During World Series Game 5, a fan from the upper deck demonstrated impressive paper airplane throwing skill.
  • The fan successfully landed a paper airplane near the pitcher's mound.
  • The same fan repeated the feat after the game, landing a second identical airplane close to the original spot.

Advanced aircraft design was on display last night during the World Series game number 5 between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals when a fan from the upper deck threw a paper airplane down to the field that landed within feet of the pitcher’s mound.

After the game was over the same fan (presumably) repeated the feat, landing a second identical looking airplane within feet of the original landing site.
