Watching the MN Twins games the last week,82 year old Jim Kaat is one of the announcers. You sure wouldn't think he was anywhere near 82.
What a joy to hear the stories he tells and the knowledge of baseball he has. But then I guess after pitching in the majors for 25 years has something to do with it.
Listenig to him ,brings back childhood memories of his time with the twins.

I remember him when he pitched for the Phillies. I heard he is being considered for the HOF, I hope he makes it.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Loved him as a pitcher and great competitor. The primidone's of today don't get it. Bring back Seaver , Carlton, Gibson, Jenkins and their peers for real pitching.

I thought you were going to say he died. He is pretty amazing.

16 gold gloves--he also could hit. Pretty amazing to be so active at 82,and such a good announcer.
He should be in the hall of fame.

A few years back and even up until he died, Ernie Harwell announced for the Tigers. The stories he could tell and express.
Love listening to the historical recall.
