Santa Dempsey sings pretty well

In an otherwise grim local sports environment, here's a cheery moment.

Last week, the Orioles had a Christmas party for kids at the ESPN Zone at the Inner Harbor and part of the festivities was Rick Dempsey as Santa doing a rousing rendition of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Credit for the item goes to Oriole Post -- The World of Baseball and Beyond and we notice that it was uploaded by mdguy2415. Thanks to all involved and bravo to the players and team. When you get to the link, scroll down until you reach the video frame with Santa and the Oriole Bird.

Here's the Christmas fun.

If Rick, Palmer, D Johnson, would leave, we could really start from scratch.Clean slate. No X's hanging around. El - Rod's gone. Tyler will never leave [ makes big money ] his son too. [ BIG MONEY. ] I'm sorry, Ernie would do his job for the love of the O's - NOT!!!

Herbie,
Thanks for writing. But I don't think that's why the Orioles own fourth place.

Rick is and always will be an example of what is good about baseball and the O's. He was a childhood hero of mine for his gritty style and personality. Truly an everyman who worked hard and lived a dream. It's great to see he continues to give back to the community that gave so much to him. Way to go Rick, you're still a hero! Some of the current O's could learn something from you.
