It seems that the long civic nightmare that was T-Shirtgate has finally come to an end. The Yankees finally admitted that there was a Red Sox jersey buried in the bowels of the new stadium and employed a team of jackhammers to find the offending garment yesterday.
Hank Steinbrenner, in his inimitable style, denied the shirt's hex appeal shortly after calling in a construction team on a weekend to work for five hours to remove it. He also offered his thoughts about how to deal with Gino Castignoli, the hardhat who buried the thing in the first place. He didn't however, explain why something that preyed on superstitious silliness bothered him quite so much.
"It's a bunch of bull- - - -," Hank said. I hope his coworkers kick the s- - - out of him."
