Red Sox Jersey Unearthed At New Yankee Stadium

And suddenly all is right with the world again.

NEW YORK - So much for the curse. The New York Yankees have ended a construction worker’s attempt to jinx their new stadium with a buried Boston Red Sox jersey.

Team officials watched Sunday as construction workers removed the jersey, with slugger David Ortiz’s name on it, from 2 feet of concrete in a service corridor of the stadium that’s under construction.

Best part of the article:

The Yankees plan to donate the jersey to charity, and may pursue a lawsuit against the construction worker.

Take that, Red Sox fans.

I am glad they had to take it out.

I think it’s funny that this actually happened.



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

I would like to replace it with an ASTROS shirt!

only one word italicized on this post. Usually you got two or three. Good work

Graeme,

Are you really so sure you ought to be critiquing the diction and/or punctuation of someone else?

Graeme, having no other rebuttal to much of anything that’s said here, has taken to criticizing my use of italics.


The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

My feelings were hurt… I’m gonna sue!

Childish… So what law did that construction worker break?

Take this, Yankee fan.

You know, unless the shirt would have harmed the structural integrity of the stadium, I cannot place my mind on the point of law that would entitle the Yankees to sue.  They probably simply think that 800 million dollars is not enough to fleece the public for, so it would be a good idea to increase the cost by frivolous lawsuits in the courts.
