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.

The team says a construction worker — who is a Red Sox fan — recently buried the jersey there while on the job. How cool is that!  Two other supervisors found the tattered shirt Saturday.  The New York Post reported Sunday that two workers approached a construction manager with what they thought was the location of the jersey. After using jackhammers to dig a two-foot by three-foot hole, the jersey was found.

The Yankees plan to donate the jersey to charity, and may pursue a lawsuit against the construction worker.  Uncool.  Wouldn’t it be better if his co-workers just kick the [expletive] out of him?  Save the tax payers some time and money.
