After a construction worker decided to try cursing the New York Yankees and their new stadium by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in the concrete on the construction site, the home team turned the stakes around.

The workers used two jackhammers in order to puncture through the two and a half feet of concrete and finally managed to pull out a torn and dusty David Ortiz jersey.

The jersey was buried last week and stadium officials received two tips on the location from some anonymous workers, the second turning out to be the correct one.

According to the Associated Press, Yankees president Randy Levine announced team officials initially considered leaving the shirt where it was: "The first thought was, you know, it's never a good thing to be buried in cement when you're in New York. But then we decided, why reward somebody who had really bad motives and was trying to do a really bad thing?"

The president also announced that the jersey will not be thrown away. It will be cleaned up and sent to a charity called the Jimmy Fund, which is affiliated with Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Accompanying the jersey will be a Yankees Universe T-shirt, sent by New York, which will be sold for the benefit of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

"Hopefully the Jimmy Fund will auction it off and we'll take the act that was a very, very bad act and turn it into something beautiful," Levine said, according to the AP. The jersey’s auction is expected to raise a significant sum of money for cancer treatment and research.
