Joe Mauer played his whole 15 year career with the twins.
​ Awards:
* 2009 MVP * 6x All Star * 3x Gold Glove * 5x Silver Slugger * The only AL catcher to win 3 Batting Titles
His Career Stats: .306 BA | 143 HR | 2,123 Hits | 6,930 At-Bats | 428 doubles | 30 triples | 923 RBI’s | 52 Stolen Bases
Didn’t he do the behind the back catch? It would be that I think
When he hit a double off me to the wall in a high school game. We knew as 15 year olds this guy was going to the majors.
The nonchalant reach around the screen to catch a foul pop.
He was amazing. I remember him playing my royals and tracking a pop up and sticking his glove under the net and catching it. Bad ass
Matt Wieters being deemed Mauer with power.
Was he the one that caught the ball after it ricocheted off the backstop? Because if so, that
As a white sox fan, my favorite moment was when he retired. Jk all due respect one of the best catchers of all time in my opinion
When the Cubs got Mark Prior instead🙃 Prior was GD unbelievable, but injuries obviously.
My dad coached against his team when he was in highschool. He said he had three hits and a home run. They tried to pitch around him and it didnt matter
Dude was a menace at every sport in highschool. Couldve gone to college in basketball, football, or baseball. Couldve probably gone pro in all too. I think he made the right choice though.
For such a good player, I can’t think of a single Joe Mauer moment.
