Could Kaat be coming to Hannibal?

While team officials with the Hannibal Cavemen weren’t commenting publicly Monday afternoon, the New York Daily News reported in its Saturday edition that former major league hurler Jim Kaat may be interested in coming to Hannibal next summer to work with Hannibal Cavemen pitchers.
After expressing his frustration with the state of Major League Baseball, Kaat said in the article that he might be interested in being active in baseball at another level. He indicated that he had been asked to work with Cavemen pitchers by Bob Hemond, co-owner of the Caveman and son of veteran baseball executive Roland Hemond, who is a friend of Kaat’s.
“I wouldn’t care to do it full-time, but I may go and work with them the first week, go back in the middle and at the end,” said Kaat, who turned 70 years old on Nov. 7.
Kaat, who pitched in the majors for 25 years, wrapped up his career as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1983. At the time of his retirement his career was the longest of any pitcher in major league history. He is now third all-time behind Nolan Ryan (27 years) and Tommy John (26 years).
In 1966 as a member of the Minnesota Twins, Kaat won 25 games to lead the American League. He was chosen the American League Pitcher of the Year that year by The Sporting News.
A three-time all-star, Kaat won the Gold Glove Award at pitcher for 16 consecutive years (1962-1977).
Kaat won his only World Series ring in 1982 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Following his retirement, Kaat served briefly as a pitching coach for the Cincinnati Reds. He then became an Emmy-winning broadcaster
