In the overblown public politics of baseball, Yankees chief operating officer Lonn Trost told the Post in yesterday's editions that "there may be criminal issues" in the construction worker's stunt of burying a Red Sox shirt at the construction site of the new and utterly unnecessary Yankee Stadium being built on what had been apportioned as public park land.
The president of this organization is former NYC deputy mayor Randy Levine (photo above), who showed up for the circus-like event to condemn the "dastardly act" and the "heroic" action of those who dug the out the shirt carrying the "curse."
Give him credit for some tongue-in-cheek, maybe. But Levine was once in the U.S. attorney's office himself -- which leads to the question if in that job he would have wasted even a minute of taxpayer time reviewing such nonsense.
