That sucks!! too bad he got caught!! I think that would have been hilarious had the built the entire stadium, the jersey stayed there and it didnt ever get mentioned until 15-20 years later. damn yankees deserve a curse!
I love it. It's all over the news and papers up here and they're even talking about possibly filing charges against the construction worker who is, coincidentally, a huge Red Sox fan from the Bronx, and who intentionally (they believe) buried it there. How ironic is that.
Oh, please. Who cares? Enough of this overrated rivalry between two perennially annoying teams of the two most annoying sports towns in the country. (Philthadelphia is right up there with them, by the way.)
Agree 100%. My friend (no offense to anyone) hates Philadelphia - says it should be blown off the map.
the Yankess-Red Sox rivalry is hardly overrated. Kind of hard to grasp it when you live in Florida, but up here it's unbelievable.
Very true Rocky. In attempting to explain the rivalry between the Bosox-Yankees to my husband this morning, I could only liken it to the rivalry between the Dolphins and Jets.
Personally I think it was dumb that the Yankees actually spend 4 and a half hours trying to dig it out. Honestly who cares if it's there or not. And for everyone knocking the Sox/Yankee rivalry I completely understand that you'd get sick of it if you weren't a Sox or Yankee fan but trust me people would kill to have the kind of rivalry that the Sox or Yankees have with each other.
Yankee fan 1: scraw da red sacks bronx b ronx bronx blah blah blah boston fan 1: screw ya ya darty yankey baston baston baston blah blah yankee fan 2: (repeat yankee fan 1) boston fan2: (repeat bastan fan 1) I'd say thats pretty overrated
Add: Met fan: Screw both you's guys Red Sox and Yankees Fan look at each other, pause, then both start to laugh (Braves fan nails gf of all 3 while they are bickering )
Now if they found a 22 year old Ron Guidry who was ready to start tonight, then I might care, these towns are simply stupidly narcissitic. I did notice it was an Ortiz jersey, perhaps they can dig some base hits out for him as well?
I love it. What stupidly unconsionable success will do to opposing cities fans. THe best part is.. it's not going away anytime soon.
There is a difference between "friendly" smack between real friends and the kind of smack that is intended to piss off other fans. Let's remember that fans are passionate about their teams and feelings do get hurt. Some fans are as sensitive about their teams as some people are about their kids or spouses. Please remember that before you make a comment that might offend other members.
