Default New York Yankees curse, foiled

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3344825

NEW YORK -- A construction worker's bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot.


After locating the shirt in a service corridor behind what will be a restaurant in the new Yankee Stadium, construction workers jackhammered through the concrete Sunday and pulled it out.


The team said it learned that a Red Sox-rooting construction worker had buried a shirt in the new Bronx stadium, which will open next year across the street from the current ballpark, from a report in the New York Post on Friday.


It took about five hours of drilling Saturday to locate the shirt under 2 feet of concrete, he said.


In shreds from the jackhammers, the shirt still bore the letters "Red Sox" on the front. It was a David Ortiz jersey, No. 34.

We should start a rumor about it. We heard though the grapevine that there is actually another jersey. Wonder how far it would go!

Unfortunately, I could see it becoming a legal issue w/ people being sued. They're already gonna sue the worker.
