A construction worker buried a Red Sox jersey at the new Yankee Stadium two weeks ago in an effort to "jinx that stadium". The worker — a devoted Red Sox fan — whose name is Gino Castignoli, placed the shirt behind home plate, two feet below the surface in wet concreate. He worked just one day.Officials with the Yankees seemed unconcerned about the prospect of a curse at first, dismissing the news report as an April fool's prank. But sports fans can be superstitious. Yankee fans were upset, so they decided to alleviate concerns. They retrieved it!
So now, there's a really dirty shirt is up for bid on eBay. The jersey didn’t come out in such great shape after being underground. It's torn from jackhammers and heavily stained, and some of the letters spelling “Red Sox” on the front are falling off. But hopefully, it will be collectible enough to entice big spenders to bid, since the money raised is going to a wonderful charity - The Jimmy Fund.
Well, you know what? eBay is always interesting! Apparently there's a second Ortiz jersey up on eBay as well. And, more auctions for shirts kind of like it...
Hmmmm... I thought there was only ONE jersey buried at Yankee Stadium?
