Baseball: Red Sox T-shirt allegedly buried in new Yankee Stadium

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 today.

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.
