I wish I could've seen DeShaies pitch, but I enjoy hearing his stories about the guys he played with and some of his experiences.
There was another Astro reliever back then, named Charlie Kerfelds. He was a real character. He wore #37 and each contract he signed had a salary that ended with $37.37, and included 37 boxes of Jello.
Larry Andersen pitched for the Astros too. He is known in Houston as the guy the Astros traded to the Red Sox for minor leaguer, Jeff Bagwell.
