Re-dick question: Ed's shirt in Cincinnati. Where can I find one?

I know, I know ... pretty ridiculous. Seems slightly obsessive. I assure you, it's not for any way-too-crazy-fan reason. I was there in GA that night and thought the shirt was super cool – but not because "I wanna be just like Eddie!" It had a big number 21 on it in a circle, and my wife's birthday is the 21st, so that's always been a cool number for me the last 17 or so years. I'd love to find one, so I'm taking a stab in the dark that someone may know who makes it. A Google image search didn't turn up much.

    The 21 is for Roberto Clemente.

    Thanks! Fantastic! Kinda funny Clemente played his whole career for the Pirates ... and Ed wore it in Cincinnati, which typically has no love lost in the ways of sports for Pittsburgh. Much appreciated!

    Before they kicked off the Lightning Bolt tour last October in Pittsburgh, Ed visited the museum and had dinner with a group of notable Pittsburgh athletes. He's worn the shirt several times at various shows since. Clemente's reach extends well beyond Pittsburgh for his humanitarian efforts and heroism. As a huge baseball fan, I knew some of his history even though he played before my time, but I gained a whole new appreciation for him after reading Clemente by David Maraniss.

    Awesome ... thanks for that link, too! Picked a shirt up for myself, and one for The Wife. (Showed her after the fact, and luckily, she loves it!) Wonder if it'll be to me in time to wear to Memphis, Moline, Minneapolis and Milwaukee ...

    Thanks for posting this! 21 has always been my favorite number - didn't make the Clemente connection. Bought a t-shirt and sticker. Need to get the book too!
