The Post has obtained photographic evidence of a David Ortiz Red Sox jersey being buried in the concrete laid along the third base line during construction of the new Yankee Stadium last August.
The Post tracked down the jinx culprit “Gino” at a construction site in Manhattan along with his camera-phone photos of the folded Red Sox jersey becoming one with the concrete foundation of the new stadium. “Gino” gloated, “As I stuck it in, I said, ‘The Yankees are done for the next 30 years.’ I only put a 30-year curse because I’m 46 and in 30 years I’ll be dead, and I won’t care if the Yankees win then.”
Apparently “Gino’s” construction worker colleagues are not taking the potential of a cursed stadium lightly, and have already smeared “Gino’s” station wagon with Yankee slogans scrawled in shoe polish. Other Yankee fans aren’t so troubled by the jersey, and when asked said that the Red Sox jersey “should be buried under two tons of concrete. Buried because that’s what we do. We bury them.”
