Charity

Curse jersey sells on eBay

The Boston Red Sox jersey secretly buried under the new Yankee Stadium in an attempt to “curse” the Yankees sold for $175,100 in a charity auction.

The Jimmy Fund, a cancer charity, didn’t reveal the name of the winning bidder after the weeklong eBay auction closed at 12:30 p.m. Thursday.

The bid was the highest of 282 for the battered David Ortiz jersey, which the Yankees jackhammered out from under 2 feet of concrete earlier this month.

A Bronx construction worker who is a Red Sox fan placed the jersey in wet concrete, hoping to hex the Yankees.

The Yankees decided to donate the recovered jersey to the official charity of the Red Sox.
