Oh Canada! Ryan Dempster Wins Number 107

With a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday night, Ryan Dempster became the second most winningest Canadian-born pitcher.

The Chicago Cubs hurler now has more wins than 117 other Canadian pitcher with 107. The only cat that has more…Fergie Jenkins.

And the Hall of Famer has 284.

Now, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that “Baseball’s Rich Little” won’t surpass Jenkins…but with only 57 wins, Jeff Francis (the dude with the second most wins among active Canadians) isn’t going to catch Dempster anytime soon.

So live it up, Ryan Dempster. Live. It. Up.

Ryan Dempster...Baseball's Rich Little?

Former Chicago Cubs pitcher and Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins has more wins (284) than any other Canadian-born pitcher.

In case you were wondering, the team's 2011 Opening Day starter Ryan Dempster starts the new season fourth on that list with 102.  That said, he could very well be sitting second all-time pretty quick given the two guys ahead of him on the career list are Kirk McCaskill and Reggie Cleveland with 106.

He's got a long way to go to match Jenkins...but it is still a pretty cool accomplishment.

Now, I only mention all that so I can bring you this.

Recently, the hurler sat down with good friend of The Hall George Castle. The twist...he did the entire thing as longtime announcer Harry Caray.
