HARDHAT BOASTS: MY BURIED SOX JERSEY WILL CURSE YANKS FOR 30 YRS
There's a traitor walking free in The Bronx.
The man who tried to curse the Yankees by burying a Red Sox jersey in the Bombers' new stadium lives just a short drive from the House that Ruth Built.
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," said "Gino," who spoke from a construction job in Manhattan.
One summer day, he placed a carefully folded jersey bearing the name and uniform number of David Ortiz, the slugging Red Sox designated hitter known as Big Papi, into the concrete mix being laid along the third base line.
