Jim Deshaies, better known as JD, once went on a campaign to get one vote for the Hall of Fame. It was all for fun and yes, he did that one vote! Deshaies spent 12 seasons pitching in the big leagues, half of them with the Houston Astros who were then in the National League. Shortly after he retired, JD found himself in the Astros TV booth as an analyst and 16 years later, found himself in the same position at Wrigley Field.He's been with the Cubs for the last 11 seasons adding keen observations while keeping a dry sense of humor. “Mark Grace lost his gig in Arizona," Deshaies says on the show. "The Diamondbacks came hard after Bob Brenly, (who had been with the Cubs) and Len Kasper, the teams lead TV voice said how would you like to come here?” Deshaies said yes and for the last 11 seasons has worked with Kasper and most recently, Jon “Boog” Sciambi. “ Boog's great. We have a lot of fun.”JD has also watched this Cubs team do something few expected them to do, contend for a playoff position Deshaies notes how free agents such as Cody Bellinger and Dansby Swanson have made a huge difference. Bellinger signed a one year deal and Deshaies knows it will take a big number to keep him, especially with Scott Boras as his agent.Now 63, Deshaies has no intentions of retiring. He loves the gig working along side Jon “Boog” Sciambi But this native of a small town in upstate New York which is close to the Canadian border claims he have no problems if this was it. He's had a wonderful career.For now it would appear that career is expected to continue.Tell me a story I don't know is partnered with Last Word on Sports Media Podcast and proudly presented by Mr. Duct and the book, “Tell Me A Story I Don't Know: Conversations with Chicago Sports Legends” is now available for presale through Triumph Books on Amazon books.Also stay engaged with all the content at www.lastwordonsports.com/podcasts
