I thought this story was pretty funny and now in addition to my chuckle some good came out of it too...

It was meant to be a curse on the New York Yankees, but it may turn out to be a blessing for people with cancer.

The Red Sox jersey that caused a big splash in the media when a construction worker revealed he had placed it in the concrete under the new Yankee Stadium was unveiled for the first time today in Boston at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The Yankees donated the tattered David Ortiz jersey to the Jimmy Fund, which raises funds for cancer care and research at Dana-Farber.

The fund is auctioning the jersey on eBay, where bidding started at $500. By late afternoon, a bid of $30,101 was shown on the auction website.
