Is Yankee Stadium cursed by the Red Sox?

The Boston Red Sox may not be in the playoffs, but they are still leaving their mark.

On April 13, 2008, construction workers at Yankee Stadium uncovered a David Ortiz jersey that was buried in concrete in the stadium a week earlier. A construction worker, who is also a Red Sox fan, had buried the jersey there in a supposed attempt to curse the New York Yankees.

This jersey was extracted over two years ago, and yet, the hole from the removal is still there. The Yankees bring in a lot of money, so it is a surprise to the fans that this hole has still not been filled.

Red Sox fans might see this as a good thing. Even though the jersey is no longer there, the hole is just a reminder of the fact that is was once there. And hey, what Red Sox fan wouldn’t want to make the slightest thing tilt against the Yankees?
