The Red Sox jersey that was buried under cement and then excavated from the new Yankee Stadium was presented to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston today.
The Yankees donated the jersey for the Jimmy Fund to auction off and raise money for cancer care and research at Dana Farber. A Dana-Farber spokesman said the Steinbrenners have donated to the Jimmy Fund before, "As much as [the Yankees are] the evil empire (for Boston sports fans), they’ve been quite generous to the Jimmy Fund."
Here's the auction site; bidding started at $500 and is now at $30,001.

This is the only redeeming part of the whole story. From this whole stupid affair, at least it's a good thing that they're raising money for cancer research.
I know! I think David Ortiz should sign it and help drive the price up. Maybe even offer a new one, too.
Holy Cow, now that is a nice turn in this idiotic tale.
I think Marc Ecko should buy it, take a giant shit on it, and then launch it into space. Or something.
Hank should have wiped his butt with it before giving it back.
I'm going to agree with [1-3]. The whole thing was a wasteful fiasco that redeemed itself with this nice turn.
i have a sneaky suspicion a manny ramirez jersey is buried somewhere underneath the current yankee stadium...
someone please unearth it.
couldn't the 50K spent to excavate/unearth the jersey just have been donated instead?
