I'm sure everyone has heard already, but the story of the Red Sox jersey being dug up at the site of the New Yankee Stadium is actually true. Two feet under slabs of concrete, a jersey with "Red Sox" on the front and "Ortiz" on the back was found. In an attempt to curse the Yankees, Gino Castignoli, a construction worker, buried the shirt back in August.
Hank Steinbrenner didn't like this very much and showed this by saying, "I hope his co-workers kick the [explitive] out of him"
While Gino's plan may not have worked, there is some good that will come from this. The shirt will be auctioned off, with the money going to the Jimmy Fund.
Upon thinking about the "curse" that Gino tried to set, I realized that it may have actually backfired. David Ortiz (just like Tiger Woods) hasn't exactly been up to par recently, and he didn't even play in last night's game. It's just a thought, but maybe it has something to do with his jersey being buried under concrete. Hopefully, the unearthing of his jersey will also dig him out of the little slump that he's been in!
An article with a bunch of quotes about the situation can be found here, and a great video about the whole thing is here.

I hope you are right about reversing Papi's curse. He is hitless in his career against tonight's pitcher, Westbrook. If he plays, and gets a hit, then that would confirm it - curse broken!
I think I heard the Yankees are considerign suing Gino too. Jerks.
After Papi started coming back to life in last night's game against the Indians, I would say your theory may (hopefully) prove to be true!
Brittany! Come on, It's a hoax!
(tee-hee!)
DPS, it is NOT nor was not a hoax. Or an EBAY buyer is a complete idiot! Hi Brit!!
