Private Investigators Hired To Solve Mystery Of Haunted Yankee Stadium

Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg announced today that a crack team of private investigators have been hired to determine the cause of the “superstitious rumours” that have halted the demolition of the original Yankee Stadium. With the recent opening of New Yankee Stadium, the former home of the New York Yankees has had its scheduled demolition delayed by three weeks due to demolition workers being frightened off by Babe Ruth’s ghost. “I ain’t goin’ back in there, I tell ya!” exclaimed foreman Raymond Ravelli. “The Bambino don’t want me destroyin’ his home, I got no argument with him.”

“We promise to get to the bottom of this mystery,” said Mr. Frederick Jones, spokesperson for the investigators. “After all, there’s no such thing as-” Jones was cut off by a colleague of his pointing at a nearby apparition of Mr. Ruth, trembling and screaming “G-g-g-g-ghoooossttt!!!” before running on the spot for a few seconds and fleeing the scene. He was last seen carrying a Great Dane and heading towards a hallway with several closed doors.

Jones, however, was unfazed by this, and stated his intention to interview any possible suspects, especially the former janitor who was laid off when the old stadium was closed and kept hanging around the press conference.
