David Ortiz Yankee curse jersey fetches $175,100 on Ebay auction
Construction worker Gino Castignoli dropped the jersey in cement at the construction site of the new Yankee stadium. When the Yankees found out about the jersey buried in two feet of cement from tipsters, they had the shirt dug up costing them $30,000.
Gino called the jersey the “Yankee curse”. He paid $200.00 for an authentic David Ortiz away jersey. It’s now worth a lot more than that.
The Yankees donated the shirt to the Jimmy Fund cancer fund. The Jimmy Fund chairman Mike Andrews a former Red Sox second baseman said the Jimmy Fund was “absolutely thrilled.”
“We extend our deep gratitude to the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox for coming together again in the fight against cancer,” he said in a statement.
A Mendon Massachusetts car dealer Kevin Meehan bought the shirt on Ebay auction for $175,100

The Red Sox have added thousands of seats in the last few years and still sell out. When John Henry bought the Red Sox, the capacity of Fenway was 36,298. Fenway has increased its capacity over the last few years to 38,805 this year. He plans to have a capacity over 39,900, doing this in increments in the next several years.
