Derrek Lee’s “Caberlee” Charity Event Recap & Photos

Yesterday Cubscast was fortunate to be invited to cover a charity event hosted by Derrek Lee and Mark Buehrle, and it was a blast. It was organized by Charity Wines, an organization that has helped raised over $1 million for charity to date by partnering with some of the best and most generous players out there.

The entire event was very relaxed, which was nice. Both D-Lee and Buehrle set the tone as they were in good spirits, so to speak, and looked like they were having a lot of fun as they joked about the Cubs/Sox series at Wrigley.

As you might have heard in our latest episode (download mp3), I was able to ask the Cubs first baseman a few quick questions about his recent hot streak at the plate and how fans can support his 1st Touch Foundation. I was a little nervous and stumbled through the first question (the audio in the episode had to be edited), but felt a bit better after D-Lee got the wine-making joke.

Speaking of, the wine was solid. The bottle itself is awesome and well-worth the $12-15 purchase price.

Please show your support for the work D-Lee is doing, and enjoy a glass of Caberlee!
