Nicely done George, good to see Demp's message getting out there.

I am reading your book right now, “Sweet Lou and the Cubs: A Year Inside the Dugout”. Good read.

More of Demp to come

Thanks, Cubskingdom. We taped 2 more of these Dempster videos for my “Diamond Gems” baseball show, shifting to on-line after 17 years on radio. Demp, a great Harry Caray mimic, channeled Harry for 7 minutes in one. Check out Bleed Cubbie Blue for these additional “Diamond Gems” segments, which will also include Kerry Wood and Billy Williams.

Dempster

Dempster is a real good guy. I’ve had a chance to work with him on a project and he is possibly one of the nicest famous people if not the nicest I’ve ever met.

Would love to see him stick around the organization once his playing days are over in some form or another.

And Mr. Castle I’ve always enjoyed your work.

Formerly known as cubstoseriesby100. Thanks Al for letting me change my outdated screenname.

Dempster and Wood have investments in Chicago as a community

It’s no secret the two Cubs who have elected to live here year-round, and have the most philanthropic involvement in Chicago, are Ryan Dempster and Kerry Wood. And it’s no coincidence both are the Cubs’ clubhouse leaders. Keep watching Diamond Gems all year at this site and others for more of their segments with me.
