Baseball is full of superstitions. Some pitchers don't step on the foul lines. Some announcers don't say the phrase "no-hitter" or "perfect game" while a pitcher is working on them. And some rogue construction workers just keep on burying Red Sox artifacts in the new Yankee Stadium. The same guy who buried the (fake) David Ortiz jersey now says he buried an official scorecard from the 2004 American League Championship Series, the best-of-seven playoff round in which the Red Sox rallied from a 3-0 deficit.

The three-day quasi-nightmare for-superstitious Yankees fans is over: The Red Sox jersey buried in cement by a Yankee-hating construction worker along the third base line at the new Yankee Stadium has been found and will be removed today in an "extraction ceremony."

The Bronx-born Yankee-hating and Red Sox-loving construction worker who buried a Red Sox jersey in the new Yankee Stadium has given photographic evidence to the Post proving it's no tall tale. "Gino" explained, "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."

Given that only time will tell, it may be a little premature to proclaim the new, currently under construction Yankee Stadium cursed. But the NY Post suggested just that, as two workers from the concrete crew claim a Red Sox fan buried a Sox shirt.

We imagine practices with the Knicks aren't much different than the video - lots of cursing and uses of sunt. Because one thing's for sure, the Knicks don't usually play with heart.
