A Great American Pastime with Jim Kaat

Jim Kaat is a Hall of Fame baseball player whose pitching career in Major League Baseball spanned an unbelievable 25 years! Baseball fans will certainly enjoy listening to Jim as he nostalgically reflects on his steady rise from a small town in Michigan to the major leagues. But even if you aren't a big fan of the game, you’ll still appreciate his good nature and the strong values instilled in him at a young age by his parents. His unwavering humility has made him one of the most endearing players of his generation. He truly has contributed much more to the game of baseball than just his dominant pitching arm. His pitching career spanned 4 decades, which would be unheard of in today’s big leagues. Winner of the prestigious Golden Glove award 16 times, elected to the All Stars for 3 seasons, World Series winner in 1982, and 2022 inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Kaat was also a successful sports broadcaster for 22 years after he retired from pitching. Anyone who knows Jim both personally and professionally respects and admires him for his positive attitude when it comes to the game of baseball, and the game of life. You don’t want to miss this episode. There’s something in it for everyone!
