There Will Be Blood.


From ESPN:

     Boston Red Sox fans know more than a little about superstitions -- and one apparently decided to share the anxiety with Boston's biggest rival.

     A construction worker and Boston fan working on the concrete crew at the $1.3 billion new Yankee Stadium buried a Red Sox shirt in with the concrete foundation under what will become the visitors' clubhouse, in the hopes of a new jinx, the New York Post reported.

     Two construction workers told the newspaper about the stunt on conditon of anonymity.

     "In August, a Red Sox T-shirt was poured in a slab in the visitor's clubhouse. It's the curse of the Yankees," one worker told the Post. "Nobody knows about it. It's in the floors, it's buried."

     The workers say they're now afraid that they've jinxed the Yankees.

     "I don't want to be responsible for sinking the franchise," said a second worker, who witnessed the burial. "I respect the stadium."

     "I guess if the Yankees go 86 years in the new ballpark without a win we'll know if we are on to something," the worker said, referring to Boston's title drought after the franchise sold Babe Ruth.

     The first series of the season between the Yanks & Sox is this weekend in Boston. The Bombers will be looking to bury a little something of their own...
