Ryan Dempster is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Florida Marlins, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers, and Boston Red Sox. His great baseball career plus being from Canada made him a prime candidate for the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame which inducted him in 2019. Ryan is the only Chicago Cub and one of just three players ever to both start a game and collect 30 saves in the same season. He has many great stories, including one involving Alex Rodriguez. Ryan is a huge fan and admirer of the late great Chicago Cubs announcer, Harry Caray and he honors him with a well done and very humorous impersonation. We are joined by guest co-host, Scott Crawford, who is the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame Director of Operations and adds some very special insight to the discussion.
