Briefly met Jim Kaat tonight, who was signing autographs at the local BlueClaws game. I was happy to find a card for him on ebay a couple weeks ago for him to sign. Doc Gooden will be here end of June so I got one of his, too, from the same series...
I asked him if he'd be on YES this season, but he said no, he's on MLB Network....
I remember Kaat pitching for the Phillies around 76-79. He was considered an older pitcher then. He worked faster than any pitcher I've ever seen. He took barely any time between pitches, which would frustrate hitters. He was a terrific all-around athlete too.
