Minnesota Twins to honor Jim Kaat, retire Hall of Fame pitcher's No. 36 uniform

1:38 PM

Jim Kaat, who was recently elected to the Hall of Fame, will have his uniform number retired by the Twins.

The Twins will add Kaat's 36 to their wall of retired numbers during a ceremony at Target Field on July 16.

Kaat will be the ninth player to have his number retired. All Major League Baseball teams have set aside 42 for Robinson.

The Golden Days Era Committee voted last month to induct Kaat and another teammate into the Hall of Fame. Killebrew, Carew, Puckett and Blyleven were all previously inducted.

The Washington Senators moved to Minnesota to become the Twins in 1961. He won 189 games over 13 seasons in Minnesota and remains the club's leader in that category.
