In what may be a scene out of a Stephen King book, some superstitious Boston Red Sox fans are blaming recent shenanigans at the new Yankee Stadium as the possible reason for David Ortiz's recent struggles at the plate. Ortiz is batting a meager .070 with 3 hits in 43 at bats. He entered last night's game on a 0-17 slump. Over the weekend, The New York Post reported that construction worker Gino Castignoli had buried a David Ortiz jersey at the site where the new Yankee Stadium is being built. Castignoli, a Red Sox fan, was hoping to give the hated Yankees more bad luck while adding more luck to the Red Sox. After hearing of the "myth" construction workers on the site approached management, saying they knew where the jersey might have been buried. With permission from the Yankee brass workers proceeded to dig out the David Ortiz, #34 jersey. Digging took five hours and cost US$50,000. Yankee management said that they might pursue either civil or legal charges against Castignoli.
