Ballpark personnel removed a fan's sign that was critical of the Houston Astros on Saturday against the Washington Nationals.

The fan had a sign that replaced the word "Astro" with an asterisk in response to the team's illegal sign-stealing scheme during its 2017 World Series-winning campaign.

However, it didn't last long, as security at FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches said signs weren't allowed and requested any to be handed over.

The Astros were swarmed by a chorus of boos during pregame introductions.
