Yankees dig up Red Sox jersey to ease fears of baseball curse

THE NEW York Yankees’ new stadium has been cleansed of possible infection by arch-rivals the Boston Red Sox, it emerged yesterday.

A Boston fan working on the construction of the stadium planted a Red Sox jersey in the building to curse it, but Yankees staff have removed the offending item.

After locating the jersey in a service corridor in the stadium, construction workers jack-hammered through the concrete last Sunday and pulled it out.
