Origin

Andrew Rozdilsky, Jr., better known as Andy the Clown, was a Chicago citizen who unofficially but regularly performed for the Chicago White Sox for 30 years. He performed at home games wearing a bowler hat, black-rimmed glasses and polka-dotted costume with a ruffled collar and frequently cheered out an elongated "Go you White Sox!” His most distinctive feature was his large red nose, which lit whenever he shook a child’s hand. He would arrive even when ill, coming to a game one hour after he was released from the hospital due to bleeding ulcers.

When management started to faze him out and replace him with new mascots, fans bitterly rejected them. However, Andy stopped being the unofficial mascot and would only occasionally attend games, always out of costume.

Effects

When worn, it allows the user to delight children and large crowds with ease. The nose will sporadically glow a dim orange when active. However, the wearer will suffer from constant ulcers while fans of the wearer will become easily angered when they see the user being injured whether physical or emotional.
