Yankees remove hexed Sox jersey
Posted: Monday April 14, 2008 05:35AM ET
The Yankees officially reversed the jersey curse yesterday - extracting from the new stadium's concrete a David Ortiz shirt planted by a Red Sox-obsessed hardhat hoping to hex his team's arch rivals. Then they warned the traitorous construction worker, Gino Castignoli, to watch his back, saying criminal and civil charges could be on deck. Yankee President Randy Levine yesterday proudly held up the tattered shirt, which he said would be donated to Boston's Jimmy Fund for auction to raise money for cancer treatment and research.

Report Offensive CommentThat guy doesn't look TOO proud. He looks more bewildered like ...if I'm the Yankee president Randy Levine......then why does the name below say Frank Gramarossa. I don't know .

Report Offensive CommentThis does not matter until Hoffa is removed from Giants stadium.

Report Offensive CommentBig deal, they only found one of them. The positive thing is that George Steinbrenner has always put the rivalry aside and has been one of the biggest contributors to the Jimmy Fund. The rivalry stays on the field.

Report Offensive CommentWhat they didnt mention in the story is that after they dug it up, they wrapped a dead fish in it and sent it to Gino Castignolli's house.

Report Offensive CommentThat guy look like a zombie, they must have worked day and night to pull that sucker out of the ground. The shirt looks to be in great condition considering what it has been through.
Didn't they pour concrete on it?

Report Offensive CommentThe curse may be on Papi. This is the fifth article that has me wondering how stupid can human beings be?
But the condition? Was shirt made of dragon skin? That is a real bullet proof material, fellow Salon readers.
