	Jim Kaat, Cool of the Evening
		(Jim Kaat) was an intimidating presence on the mound and a fine athlete.
		Kaat easily passed Shantz to win a record 14 straight Gold Gloves at a position that is difficult to field well.
		Some pitchers follow through and then raise their head to look at the catcher's mitt, but Kaat was one of those who followed the ball all the way into the target and made sure he finished in a position that left him squarely facing the batter.

	NetShrine Discussion Forum - Jim Kaat - Still Pitching [merged threads]
		I agree that Kaat is an excellent announcer, the best of the many "thousands" of broadcasters the Yankees seem to use throughout the season.
		Kaat also believes that major league teams would be smart to consider a return to a four-man rotation, while carrying an extra reliever or two on the staff.
		When Kaat was a pitching coach with the Reds, he expressed a preference for the four-man rotation, but I'm guessing that his idea was vetoed by others in the organization.

	Yanksfan vs Soxfan: Jim Kaat's Bizarro Land of Aging Pitchers
		I don't know how else to say it, but Jim Kaat should just shut the f*ck up about how "Pedro is a better pitcher now than when he had all the firepower".
		Your retort is a kind of all-encompassing non-substantive defense of Kaat the man that doesn't get to the meat of my gripe: Kaat's and other former player's "I know more than you even if I won't tell you why" tendencies.
		Kaat is able to do the same condescending thing and get away with it because he is smooth, because he's so genial.
