The Curse of Big Papi? Wait till 2009 to find out.

The New York Yankees’ new stadium is not even complete, yet David Ortiz, the Red Sox’s designated hitter with a powerhouse swing has already been in the stadium, or at least his jersey has.

The recent controversial stunt at the construction site for the new stadium, thanks to one avid Boston fan — who, by the way, is a Bronx native — is another chapter in one of the most heated rivalry in sports.

With the stadium set to open for the 2009 season, it is sure to say that we will have to wait to find out the effects of this somewhat impressive attempt to “curse” the Yankees.

Will the new stadium be cursed? Will it be 86 years until the Yankees win a World Series (not including the eight years since they won it all in 2000)?

Surely, should the Yankees go many years without a World Series championship, talks of the curse would grow. However, if the Yankees win the World Series in 2009, then this stunt would amount to just a little bump along the road.

I would have to say though, if I were this guy and I placed a Yankee jersey in the concrete of a new Boston stadium, I’d be sure not to blab my mouth off. It would become one of most questioned urban legends, kind of like the myth of Jimmy Hoffa being buried under the end zone of the Giant stadium.
