Stop the insanity

Ok, so I spotted this story on the Yahoo Baseball section tonight as I checked the Sox/Yankee game score.

Basically, it says that one of the workers building the new Yankee stadium buried a David Ortiz jersey in the foundations, supposedly to curse the place. So, after some deliberation, the Yankees decided to dig it out, and had some guys spend a few hours jackhammering through two feet of concrete to get the thing out. It's silly, but it would probably create bad PR for the team if they didn't, so whatever.

However, there's this: "Trost said the Yankees had discussed possible criminal charges against Castignoli with the district attorney’s office." With what, exactly? Burying a shirt in concrete? Laying a curse? Next, will Mr. Steinbrenner's cows give sour milk?

Criminal prosecution for burying a rival team's jersey would be rather silly. However, I think that firing the worker to set an example would be appropriate. After all, a wide spread practice of stuffing foreign matter in concrete could comprise structural integrity.
