Here at the office, I’m looking sharp today in my sky blue Adam Dunn American League All-Star T-shirt. It’s a birthday present from a clever friend. My birthday’s today, so the rigid Reader dress code has been relaxed for me.

On the train ride downtown this morning, I didn’t spot anyone else wearing the Adam Dunn All-Star shirt. And a check of Google Maps Adam Dunn All-Star T-Shirt View confirms that I am, in fact, the only person in downtown Chicago wearing the shirt today.

It was the perfect gift. As some of you are aware, I’ve been one of Dunn’s biggest supporters since the Big Breeze blew into town 319 strikeouts ago.
