The rumor of the Red Sox jersey being thrown under the concrete at the new stadium have been flying around for a few days now. The Yankees decided to investigate and some construction workers believed that it was done by some goon (hes actually been involved in some big criminal schemes) named Gino Castignoli who worked at the stadium for one day. They had a ballpark estimate of where the shirt would’ve been and with a few other workers they used jackhammers to dig in the area. Turns out there was a jersey there. I’m not really a superstitious person, so I didn’t care anyway, but for those Red Sox fans who are this is a slap in the face. They couldn’t even manage to hide a jersey under some concrete without the word spreading out.
Useless story, but we got some entertainment from it. Hank Steinbrenner, later said about Castignoli:
“I hope his coworkers kick the $hit out of him…It’s a bunch of bull$hit”
