bid is at $6,300 as of 2:50 4/17/08
Once-buried Ortiz Red Sox jersey
Removed from the new Yankee Stadium
on April 12, 2008
Take home this piece of Boston Red Sox history while supporting the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute!
The rivalry between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees is one of the longest and the most dramatic in professional sports. The latest chapter was written when a construction worker-a diehard Red Sox fan-secretly buried a David Ortiz jersey in the concrete of the new Yankee Stadium in hopes of "cursing" the new ballpark.
Rumors of the worker's activity were verified, and the jersey was located under two feet of concrete. Following the discovery, Yankees President Randy Levine indicated that the shirt would be given to the Jimmy Fund to be auctioned off, a move that proves that when it comes to cancer, everyone is on the same team.
The winning bidder will receive the one-of-a-kind jersey while attending a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. (Date TBD)
