John Henry on the 'Net

There's a big Red Sox fan site called Sons of Sam Horn (SoSH for short). They began a discussion of taking donations to either take out a newspaper ad or donate to the Jimmy Fund thanking the Red Sox. Red Sox owner John Henry himself posted a message (just go read it), and has come through on his promise; we actually have a copy of the ad at home, and it's way cool.

As was said long ago about the Dodgers, the Red Sox are a quasi-public institution without the quasi.
