Worker tries to jinx Yanks with buried Red Sox shirt
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Say it ain't so, George!

A construction worker on a concrete crew at the new Yankee Stadium secretly buried a Red Sox T-shirt under the future visiting clubhouse in an effort to jinx the Yankees, the New York Post reported Friday.

The paper cited two construction workers it did not identify, saying they were not authorized to speak with the media. One of the workers said the T-shirt was poured in a slab in the visitor's clubhouse.

"It sounds like a tall tale, and it would take more than a Red Sox T-shirt to put a curse on the Yankees,"? team spokesman Howard Rubenstein was quoted as saying.

The Yankees move to the new ballpark in 2009.

How many guys off those 4 teams actually still play for the Yankees?? Not too many. Manny has 2 himself.

If he was trying to jinx the Yankees wouldn't he bury the shirt under the Yankee clubhouse and not the visitors? It all sounds pretty dumb, but what do you expect from a Red Sox fan?
