The rivalry between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees is one of the longest and the most dramatic in professional sports. The latest chapter was
written when a construction worker—a diehard Red Sox fan—secretly buried a David Ortiz jersey in the concrete of the new Yankee Stadium in hopes of
"cursing" the new ballpark. Rumors of the worker’s activity were verified, and the jersey was located under two feet of concrete.
And now you can own that jersey. Its on eBay and the money goes to the Jimmy Fundy....
Following the discovery, Yankees President Randy Levine indicated that the shirt would be given to the Jimmy Fund to be auctioned off, a move that
proves that when it comes to cancer, everyone is on the same team.

I agree... but I think its even more insane that the Yankee management made them dig through 2 feet of concrete to find the jersey so they could take
it out!JawnDiablo - 4-19-2008 at 09:54 PM
