S2026 Ep227: Jim Kaat: Celebrating the MLB All-Star Game and Previewing the Open Championship
About this episode
Jim Kaat shares his unique experiences in baseball and golf while previewing the Open Championship.
Many great baseball players have also found considerable success playing golf, but only Jim Kaat has a unique distinction in golf that goes far beyond anything that any other baseball player (or anyone) has ever accomplished. Jim's 283 career wins earned him election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and he spent 22 seasons calling games for the New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins. So many great stories from the southpaw, plus you'll hear from Rory McIlroy, and about Tommy Fleetwood, Arnold Palmer, Walter Hagen, and my late podcast partner, Bob Bubka, as we get set for the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
