Before the game Saturday against Chicago the Twins Ballclub will honor 2022 National Baseball Hall of Fame electee Jim Kaat, who will have his uniform number 36 retired in an on-field ceremony prior to the game against the White Sox – the team for which he collected 45 of his 283 career wins.

The Twins will wear a jersey patch bearing a specially-designed Number 36 logo in honor of “Kitty’s” number being retired.
