    If Chicagoans had known it would be this long before they're 2 teams would win another, I think all members of both teams would have been publicly executed.

    All a publicity stunt.
    Drug on for a few days before digging it up, and then televised to un-earthing, then sell on E-Bay with all proceeds going to the charity that the Red Sox support.

    Very little doubt in my mind that both teams were involved in this from the beginning.

    I had my doubts about that story along those lines. The guy's co-workers supposedly saw hiim do it and didn't say anything at the time? New Yorkers? Union workers? Hard to fathom.

    please.

    if it were me, I would have:
    • not told anyone until the construction was complete
    • not used a cheap "replica" instead of authentic
    • chosen Manny instead of Papi
    • sold the location to the highest bidder during the World Series (yanks being at home watching on TV at the time would allow them to begin the search immediately)
