Astros Announcer's Dad Gets His Moves From Joe Namath
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
There are acceptable ways of ending an interview. A handshake is the customary move, but even a simple nod and thank you can suffice. Asking for a kiss on the lips, however, probably isn't the best move (as Joe Namath demonstrated in 2003). Well that's the exact move that Herb Deshaies, father of Astros' announcer Jim Deshaies, pulled during an exhibition game on the MLB Network this afternoon. Here's the clip....
Awkward! I love that the announcers immediately went to the Namath comparison and Deshaies referred to his pops as a "masher". I have no idea what that means, but I think I can guess.

Masher: A man who attempts to force his unwelcome attentions on a woman.
Sounds like a term out of the 1950s.
I think it also means that, "that guy is so old, all of his food needs to be mashed before he can eat it".
I thought "masher" means guys who hit a lot of homeruns?
Masher: swings for the fences and often strikes out
Yeah I saw this live and couldn't believe it. Awesome.
Does this mean someone will be starting up.

Son Jimmy Deshaies handled it with aplomb. Great comeback especially regarding his Dad's hat. That's why he's one of the best in the booth.
I love Herb Deshaies!
