A Chicago White Sox fan working on the renovation of Wrigley Field supposedly buried a little keepsake in some concrete as a means to taunt the Chicago Cubs by way of his squad’s most recent World Series triumph. But the Cubbies have gone on record to question the validity of the claim.

The legendary ballpark is in the midst of a massive $350 million renovation project, which provided the perfect opportunity for the enterprising White Sox fan to take a shot at his favorite team’s crosstown rivals.

Sports blogger Allison Horne on Sunday tweeted the alleged photographic evidence of a 2005 World Series champion White Sox hat being buried in some concrete.

A Cubs spokesman questioned the legitimacy of the photograph in a comment to Chicago’s FOX 32 while also indicating the team doesn’t plan to do anything about it. Team president Theo Epstein, meanwhile, took a more colorfully worded approach in responding to the supposed validity of the photo, telling FOX 32’s Dane Placko, “I couldn’t give two….” 

These kinds of stadium construction shenanigans happen all the time, with perhaps the most infamous example coming in 2008, when the New York Yankees unearthed a David Ortiz Red Sox jersey that had been buried under a foot-and-a-half of concrete beneath the team’s new stadium.
