Fans throw paper airplanes during Game 4 of World Series

Fans at Chase Field appeared to turn their 'Stand Up To Cancer' cards into paper airplanes and throw them onto the field during Game 4

PHOENIX — Game 4 of the World Series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers has turned into a blowout and some fans at Chase Field in downtown Phoenix decided they would find a way to entertain themselves since they apparently weren't being entertained by the baseball game in front of them. 

Fans appeared to take the 'Stand Up To Cancer' cards that were placed at each seat before the game for a special moment after the fifth inning and turned them into paper airplanes. 

The fans then threw the paper airplanes onto the field.  

This led to multiple warnings from the public address announcer that fans are not permitted to throw items onto the field. Fans then booed the PA announcer in response.
