Nicknamed “Kitty”, Jim Kaat pitched for the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins (1959-73), Chicago White Sox (1973-75), Philadelphia Phillies(1976–79), New York Yankees (1979–180), and St. Louis Cardinals (1980–83).
His best season was in 1966, when he won a league-leading 25 games. He finished fifth in the MVP voting and was named the American League Pitcher of the Year by The Sporting News. The National League’s Sandy Koufax won the Cy Young Award by a unanimous vote; it was the last year in which only one award was given for both leagues. Kaat was primarily a starting pitcher until 1979, when he became a relief pitcher.
Kaat has also had a career as a broadcaster after retiring from baseball. From 1990-1993, Kaat served as an analyst for CBS television, teaming with Dick Stockton and then, Greg Gumbel in 1993. He served as Field Reporter with Lesley Visser (1990-1992) and Andrea Joyce (1991) during the World Series. Kaat covered three World Series Trophy presentations for CBS (1990-1992). In 1993, he in filled for Lesley Visser when she had the bizzare jogging accident in New York City’s Central Park until late August. In 1995, he was nominated for an Emmy Award for “On Camera Achievement.” Also in 1995, Kaat called the American League playoffs with Brent Musburger for ABC.
