Uh-oh.....Are the New York Yankees about to be cursed?!


Report: Boston Red Sox T-shirt buried in new Yankee Stadium by construction worker



NEW YORK -- Say it ain't so, George!

A construction worker on a concrete crew at the new Yankee Stadium secretly buried a Red Sox T-shirt under the future visiting clubhouse in an effort to jinx the Yankees, the New York Post reported Friday.

The paper cited two construction workers it did not identify, saying they were not authorized to speak with the media. One of the workers said the T-shirt was poured in a slab in the visitor's clubhouse.

1. Lol I read the story
I personally do not believe in superstition, but this tale will help generate revenews for the Yankees. Myths and tales are good and raise the fan's interest.

Never knew how many superstitious people there were in sports.

3. It was a David Ortiz shirt, the NY Daily News has learned
This could backfire on the Sox. It makes for good publicity for both teams though.

4. They dug it up, but the Red Sox won last night...the day they dug it up...
...so maybe it just getting into the dirt started the curse...or maybe...
