"Not only was he a major league pitcher who won 283 games in 25 seasons, but his time as a pitching coach and his many years as a broadcaster have given him a singular long view of the game. In Good as Gold, the 16-time Gold Glove winner weaves the tale of a lifetime, taking fans on the field, into the clubhouse, and behind the mic as only he can... Full of priceless stories from the Washington Senators, Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Yankees, St. Louis Cardnals, Cincinnati Reds, and across the major leagues, this honest and engaging autobiography gives fans a rare seat alongside Kaat on a tour of baseball history."-- Provided by publisher.
