Jim Kaat made a pre-induction visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday. “This is humbling. Very humbling; there are so many great players in the Hall of Fame,” Mr. Kaat said. “I know how special this is to be honored. I’m honored to be here as a representative of longevity. When I got the call from Jane Clark, as soon as you hear that name, you know what it’s about. Then Sandy Koufax gave me a piece of advice — keep your speech short!” Pictured left to right: Jane Forbes Clark, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Baseball Hall of Fame, Margie Kaat, Inductee Jim Kaat and Josh Rawitch, president of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
