Yanks dig up "cursed" Bosox shirt

via the New York Post:

I'm glad this tool couldn't keep his mouth shut and told the NY Post that he buried a Red Sox shirt in the new Yankee stadium.

Beantown-loving construction worker Gino Castignoli, who lives in The Bronx, confessed to The Post last week that he buried a Red Sox slugger David Ortiz jersey at the site last summer while working at the stadium.

After reading about the traitorous act in The Post, the two workers approached a construction manager and said they remembered Castignoli, who only worked at the Stadium one day, and thought they knew where he must have placed the shirt.

They led the manager to a service corridor near the site of the planned Legends Club restaurant, behind home plate and toward the third base side.

After the hardhats pointed to the spot, workers brought out jackhammers and dug furiously for five hours, creating a 2-foot- by-3-foot, gravel-filled pit in their search for the tainted threads.

They spotted the jersey at 3:25 p.m. and called Yankee brass. The cursed shirt was about two feet deep in cement.

Hal Steinbrenner's thoughts on the matter:

"I hope his coworkers kick the $hit out of him...It's a bunch of bull$hit"

Hey, at least it's gone.
