Red Sox Jersey Burial

During construction of the Stadium, a construction worker named Gino Castignoli, an avid Boston Red Sox fan, buried a David Ortiz jersey underneath the visitors' dugout with the objective of placing a hex on the Yankees, much like the Curse of the Bambino that had long plagued the Red Sox (however, the curse somewhat backfired on David Ortiz as Big Papi started the season hitting poorly, then improving once the jersey was removed). He was later exposed by co-workers and the jersey has since been exhumed.[13] The Yankees organization donated the jersey to the Jimmy Fund, a charity long associated with the Red Sox. The jersey eventually sold on eBay for $175,000 and the proceeds donated to the Jimmy Fund. [14] Castignoli has since claimed to have buried a 2004 American League Championship Series scorecard, but has not said where he placed it.[15]
