Hank currently has the jackhammer crew on their way over to Gate to Heaven to dig up the Babe. He's going to take this to another level.

If they had frozen the shirt into a malt, it would never have been recovered.

So what did this guy bury under Yankee Stadium 5 years ago? Curt Shilling is also pissed that his jersey wasn't used.

Judging by the bullet-holes in the back of that jersey, they should probably be looking for the body of whoever it was jacked from.

I'm surprised Theo had them bury the jersey and not Papi's TRAUSERS.

Hey-oooo!

If there's anything I like more than ironic puns, it's ironic puns about shitty celebrity bands.

@Civil Negligence: No, I'd find it hilarious too. Bonus points if the eventual Yankees digging under a structural column causes a complete collapse of the stadium.

@EddieRebel: Of course, when he starts to hit again this week, I assume that the Yankees will hold a big ceremony to re-bury the jersey.

on a less douchey note, the construction company is sending the jersey to the Jimmy Fund (the Red Sox's main charity) to be auctioned off.
