Cement (Sequined) Shoes. 


Papi sez: "Way to go, Allie!", originally uploaded by Kluv32.

So, in my post-trip rage yesterday, I forgot to mention that I received a flurry of text messages and emails while I was toiling in the airport on Friday.

It would seem that the rest of the world had discovered the story of a buried Papi jersey in the new Yankee Stadium; one I told youts all those many months ago. Hilarious. At first, they wailed of a buried "Red Sox Shirt" (but we knew it to be a David Ortiz Jersey). Then the Yankees dismissed it as a tall tale, or "baseball legend".

Of course, once photos started to appear, lil' Hank Steinbrenner went berserk, threats of a lawsuit were made, and an emergency evacuation took place. The Jersey was finally brought out of the ground on Sunday, will be auctioned for charity, and the DA's office politely declined to prosecute any charges (something about more important crimes happening in the Bronx).

Me? I'm just glad they finally got it out of the ground -- Papi was dying under all that concrete -- going 3 for 43 (.070, worst in the majors) during his time in the foundation.

Now that he's finally free, he went 2 for 5 (.400) last night. Thanks, Yankees!
