Jim Deshaies shares his journey from a small town in New York to becoming a Major League pitcher and broadcaster. He recounts memorable experiences, including his unique connection to the Andy Griffith Show, his college choices, and his remarkable achievement of striking out the first eight batters in a game. Deshaies also humorously reflects on his struggles as a hitter and his unexpected Hall of Fame vote campaign, providing insights into the life of a professional athlete. His experiences as a former player and current broadcaster are fascinating, discussing the nuances of hitting in the big leagues, his memorable high school baseball moments, and the dynamics of working with Boog Sciambi in the broadcast booth.
