Remember the story about the NYC construction worker that tried to "curse" the yankees by burying a David Ortiz jersey at the site of the new Yankees stadium (here)? Well, the jersey was subsequently donated to the Jimmy Fund and auctioned off for charity.

The auction came and went and the president of a car dealership in MA won the jersey for $175,100.

Kevin Meehan, of Mendon, bid $175,100 just 18 seconds before the eBay auction ended, becoming the last of 282 bids placed. All of the proceeds will support the Jimmy Fund’s adult and pediatric cancer care and research.
