The first edition of semi-official BLOHARD "Comrade Johnny" T-Shirts, sold out, raising more than $450 for the Jimmy Fund. While these were perfectly OK shirts, and a wicked bargain at $15 each, they paled in comparison to our post-season (2004) pigment dyed second edition which, at $18, were almost too good to be true. We sold the last of those, netting a further $575 for Jimmy, and if we had any brains at all, we'd have quit while we were ahead. But wouldn't you know it, we were still getting the odd inquiry, and as we say at BLOHARD World Headquarters: "A Sox fan who's not wearing a BLOHARD t-shirt might as well be naked." Since the BLOHARD demographic skews heavily towards old, overweight men, we put a pretty high priority on minimizing nakedness amongst our ranks. Hence we made a third order and that would have been the end of it if that rat Alex Beam hadn't written a nice article about us. But he did. So we had to get some more shirts. And now, like Johnny himself, they're almost gone too, and when they are, there will not, trust us, be any more. As before, all profits (approximately $3,000 to date) will go to the Jimmy Fund.

A matchless combination of style and statement - the BLOHARD T-shirt.

At just $18 a pop, postage included, no Sox fan can afford to be without a BLOHARD T-shirt. Copy reads "Resist Yankee Hegemony! Wage Relentless Struggle Against the Steinbrenner Clique! Strive to Emulate Comrade Johnny!" Picture to the left is a composite of Johnny himself done up Che Guevara-style. Available in Adult S, M, L, XL, XXL.

Profits, which should run $5-6 per shirt if we sell out, will be donated to the Jimmy Fund.

Incidentally, here's a copy of the very gracious letter we received from former Sox second-sacker and current Jimmy Fund Chairman Mike Andrews, thanking us for our first donation; here's the equally, at least, gracious communication we got following our second donation; and here's the somewhat confused third letter, which credits us with a donation of $5,500 when in fact we only gave $1,900.
