Note: This is a story about baseball that doesn't involve, except the kind that comes in a box with a straw. If that offends you, close your eyes for a minute.

I got a lot of mileage last December out of Judah Claus, the strange creature created when former D.C. United donned a Santa uniform and went to work. "He was born to do Santa," said Ben Olsen, the lone remaining D.C. United player who has ever appeared in the D.C. Sports Bog without being traded or released.

Well, I thought that was funny, but really it had all the laffs of a Glen Hanlon Thanksgiving Day press conference compared to DempseyClaus. From Oriole Post, via Deadspin, here is Rick Dempsey as a full-throated, mostly on-key, very lyric-conscious Santa.
