Apparently a brawny Bostonian construction worker who happened to be working on the brand new Yankee Stadium "accidentally" dropped a Boston Red Sox jersey into the wet concrete of the foundation of the stadium. That has to be the best prank to ever be pulled in human history.
It doesn't stop there, though.
In fear of taking over the infamous Red Sox curse (which doesn't really even exist anymore thanks, in part, to the movie in my previous post, some say), the Yankees paid $50,000 to dig up the concrete and get the jersey out.
In order to save face and NOT look like sun-god-praising neanderthals, the Yankees have put the jersey on eBay and are donating the proceeds to Jimmy Fund.
I wish I wrote well enough to make stuff like this up.
