Counter-curse Curtailed

The Red Sox finally broke the Curse of the Bambino a few years back, and if you're reading this science-related blog, you probably have no idea what that means. Regardless, a mischievous construction worker and Red Sox fan decided to try a little black magic himself and buried a Red Sox jersey in a concrete slab near what will eventually be a restaurant in the new Yankee Stadium. After some anonymous tips and five hours of jackhammering, the cursed clothing was finally removed, thus granting New York with untold years of magic-free, obscenely expensive success. The offending witch doctor's name and general address has been widely published, though I refuse to do so here. Why hasten the inevitable irony of his being buried in concrete and thrown into the Hudson River? More details here.
