Report: Sox shirt buried at Yankee Stadium
A construction worker with a rooting interest in the Red Sox buried a Red Sox shirt in with the concrete foundation under what will become the visitors' clubhouse in the new $1.3 billion Yankee Stadium, two construction workers told the New York Post Wednesday.
"In August, a Red Sox T-shirt was poured in a slab in the visitor's clubhouse. It's the curse of the Yankees," one worker told the Post. "Nobody knows about it. It's in the floors, it's buried."
The Post is witholding the identities of the two workers, who are not allowed to speak to the media. One of the workers feared that the burying of the shirt may place some kind of hex on the Bronx Bombers.
"I don't want to be responsible for sinking the franchise," the second worker told the Post. "I respect the stadium."
Through a spokesman, the Yankees denied Friday that a shirt was ever buried in the concrete of the new stadium.
"We noticed that the [New York] Post wrote a fun and interesting story about a T-shirt today -- but it never happened," the Yankees told ESPN.com in a statement. "Yankee fans know that burying something in concrete in the basement is never a good thing. Memo to the Post: You're 10 days late for April Fool's Day."
nice work Gary this is the type of stuff that SHOULD be in extra bases
I love the statement from the Yankees..."I never happened"
How would they know. Did they have Yankee employees following every construction worker?
Talk about denial! ;-)
Way to go Sox Nation!!!
It's our turn to make a long run......
Please! Boston sux!!!! You could bury the old red sux team in the new stadium, it still wouldn't change the fact that the Yankees are the best, have always been the best, and will always be the best!
Of course it happened. The Yankees are so pathetic, and the nation laughs heartily at them for this new ever-lasting curse! Yes, the shirt is buried there, and of course they'll ALWAYS blame the shirt for their constant failures as a ball club. How funny is this?
good work, ya bozo, put that stupid shirt right where it belongs, under concrete. the shirt isn't there, and hoffa ain't at giants stadium, either. get a grip.
if they are dumb enough to not believe it then they are dumb enough to through away another season..
I hope a pic from a cell phone or camera proves the story true so hank steinbrenner can have the foundation dug up........
Sounds like the Soxs will continue to get buried, even in the new Yankee Stadium
oh no now what will those damm yankees do when the sox sell old yawkey way and move to their new park? maybe they'll put buckys bat under the doughout or buckners mitt under first. damm its all over now we're really gonna be cursed....................................
I think it's worth it just to have the Yankees wondering for 50 years...
Yeah, makes sense. Red Sox buried by Yankee Stadium.
It fits ...
As a devoted Yankees fan I was glad to hear that the location WAS identified and yesterday after 5 hours with a jackhammer the Red Sox jersey was found and removed. Seems it was a David Ortiz jersey. Hummm maybe the jinx is on him.
"it never happed"
Then they found it.
wow
Awsome... that means we'll bury the sox for the next 100 years!!!! crushing them like that jersy in the concrete.
As disability, I grew up in visionary. My hand lines always tell the truth. I can foresee my future son playing METS with jersey shirt 27; undefeated pitcher. He's more famous than A-Rod & michael jordan. I saw my son jump top of the bunker and jeolous boston redsox fan grabs my son arm and miss two home plates during play offs. He made numberous homeruns to upset redsox fans. He land $593 million dollars to yankees. I want to know if true or not...
I think the curse it's already on the Yankees....
The dumb ass shouldn't have told anyone.
I understand there were two Red Sox shirts buired in the new yankee stadium.
They only found one.
It's to let to recover the second one now.
The curse lives on.
