109.5 mph and 411 feet over the monster for Carlos Correa's first home run as an Astro since Game 1 of the 2021 ALCS ... also against the Red Sox

The airplane celebration that Boston Red Sox players are doing after a hit is a recent development inspired by a very turbulent flight they experienced.

Specifically, the Red Sox charter flight to Minneapolis on Sunday night, July 27, 2025, encountered severe turbulence both before and after an unplanned stop in Detroit to ride out the weather. Many players and staff experienced significant motion sickness, and one player even needed IV fluids the next day.

After the harrowing experience, Red Sox players started using the airplane wing celebration as a way to acknowledge the flight and poke fun at their shared adversity. Ceddanne Rafaela was the first to do the celebration after a triple, mimicking the wobbly plane wings, and it quickly caught on with other players.

While initially a response to a negative experience, the celebration became a symbol of team bonding and a way to embrace the challenges they faced.
