The final score in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ World Series Game 4 loss to the Texas Rangers looked much closer than it actually was.
And it was in the middle of that 11-4 blowout that put the D-backs on the brink of losing out on a ring that some Arizona fans decided they had enough: They decided to make paper airplanes — maybe out of the Stand Up to Cancer signs given out for the game? — and fling them to see how far they could go. Even the Chase Field public address announcer couldn’t stop them.
So, here you go: What went down on Tuesday night:

Diamondbacks fans have begun throwing paper airplanes on the field. I’ve seen four so far. (You can see the batboy picking one up on the right side of this video while one falls on the left side.) pic.twitter.com/AK6S9TXqVo

For the last two innings, fans have been trying to throw paper airplanes onto the field at Chase Field. One just landed. The public-address announcer said fans who throw things on the field are subject to fines or even arrest. He was booed.

I'm pretty sure fans here at Chase Field are folding their Stand Up to Cancer cards into paper airplanes and throwing them towards the diamond.
