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 Friday.
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.
“We noticed that the NY Post wrote a fun and interesting story about a T-shirt today — but it never happened,” Yankees spokeswoman Alice McGillion said Friday. “Yankee fans know that burying something in concrete in the basement is never a good thing. Memo to the Post: You’re 10 days late for April Fools’ Day.”
The Yankees move to the new ballpark in 2009.
