Joe Mauer is elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot! (Full career highlights!) 

Joe Mauer will always be a legend in Minnesota. Not only for his incredible baseball talent, but for his loyalness to Twins fans and his genuine character he showed his entire career

YES!!!! Literally the only professional athlete I've ever known, my hero, my friend. I am so happy for him. Tears of joy just thinking about it.

Congraturations Joe Mauer! I'm Yankee fan but You became one of my favorite catchers when you were a rookie. and Now you are a legend! Time flies so fast. Thank you for being in my old memories Joe

Great video tribute to a Hall-of-Famer. Missing one clip, though, that would make this complete: the no-look, behind the-back-catch of a carom off the wall behind home on a pitch fouled almost straight back.

Such a class act. Asa Tigers fan, I will miss watching guys like him.

there was one highlight, its not even an impact play, or a play thats in the stats where he was catching, and the ball gets thrown right to the backstop on a pitch, and Joe just snags that rocket at the plate, no looks behind his back was sooooo smooth. cool if they would have found that one lol

Great job Joe Mauer! I’m not a Twin fan but I always admired your play! I always felt Buster Posey was our Giants Joe Mauer! Well deserving first ballot!

Congratulations Joe Mauer!

Joe Mauer had a freaking cannon and great instincts on defense

Well played Mauer!

Baseball needs more Joe Mauers.

That beautiful inside-out swing is now enshrined! Congrats, Joe!

Thank you, Joe, for being the epitome of what it means to be a kind, thoughtful human being. My helped me fall in love with the Minnesota Twins and baseball. You brought a lot of joy to my life with your great play and character. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate what you’ve done, Joe. THANK YOU!

a classic lefty swing, what an underrated legend

Mauer is going to be a legend in the Minnesota..Farms...

So deserved. So proud of him 🥰 Congrats, Joe!

Joe Mauer Is Goated 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Not a twins fan but I’ve always loved joe, good job well deserved! Now get David wright in there

What's crazy is that Joe Mauer was the USA Today High School Player of the Year in 2000 as a quarterback who committed to play at Florida State.

Well deserved #7!

So deserved! Thanks for doing Minnesota proud Joe!!

Congratulations Joe Mauer!! Well Deserved!!! What a Home Town Hero Legend!!! One of my favorite Twins player by far!! Well Played Mauer!!

ずっとイチローのライバルでしたね。 イチローから首位打者を何度も奪って小憎たらしい存在だったけど、貴方の素晴らしいバットコントロールは今も覚えてます。 有資格1年目での殿堂入り、おめでとうございます♪

Congratulations Joe Mauer you are my favorite player since I started watching back 2005 I was born 2001

Casuals who only like long balls don’t know ball. Professional baseball writers know ball. 1st ballot HOF. Maybe the greatest catcher in MLB history

He was one of the nicest guys to ever play the game. Justin Morneau and Joe made a great duo. Justin with an MVP and a runner up and probably could have been on in 2010 if he didn't get hurt on a freak accident. Joe had a great year in 2009. The only problem I have is that he didn't catch in that many games. Apparently 2 of the 3 years he won a gold glove, the catchers in the league weren't that good. He only played a career high at catcher in 2008 with 139. He only played 4 other years over 100 games at catcher. He played a career high of 125 games at 1st base. And last but not least, he didn't win one game out of 10 playoff games! And he only had 1 rbi and 1 run in those 10 playoff games. That is why i couldn't believe he made it to the Hall of Fame. His 1st year of his huge contract, he got hurt. And only played a handful of games at catcher the next couple years. So how can you say he was a catcher when he couldn't lead them to one win in the playoffs!! Mark Grace was just as good if not better when he played for the Chicago Cubs and the Arizona Diamondbacks, even to help Arizona to a World Series title! And he is not in!! Nice guys we need. But it is hard to justify Mauer getting in, especially on the 1st ballot!

Well deserved. Wish he could have broken .400. He got so close in his prime.

Congratulations Joe Mauer!!

Congratulations to Joe Mauer! Wonderful human being and a great career! But I still don't understand why Steve Garvey and Tommy John have never been elected?

He was the best hitting catcher of his generation. Actually, he was probably the best hitter at any position. Well deserved

Well done... Congratulations!!

Congratulations to Joe Mauer! Welcome to Cooperstown!

As it should be! Congrats!

True professional.

In the early 2000s the world had sent a strong message to the Minnesota Twins that they weren't wanted. A championship a decade ago was worth nothing in the face of cold hard cash. Minnesota knew darn well that it wanted its Twins, but the rest of the nation needed a wakeup call. They needed someone to lead the charge, to bring heart to the faithful. And right on schedule, right on time, came the Hometown Hero, and for the next fifteen years, the Twins would be Mauer's team.

Rubbing salt in the wound by putting a play with Mauer tagging out Sheffield in this reel 😂

Congrats Joe What an incredible career

The 4th player born in St. Paul, MN to make it into the Hall of Fame.

One of the greatest Twins of all-time. Dude was unbelievable as a catcher, and could have done so much more if injuries didn't hinder him in the later stage of his career. Regardless, I'm so happy he got in the Hall of Fame, let alone on his first try!

Well-played, Mauer.

Legend!

There was a time when Joe Mauer was the best catcher in the league. Injuries made that incredible high to a rock bottom low.

yesss

Congrats, Joe Mauer!!! Well deserved

This is what I hope happens to SF Giants legend Buster Posey!

This makes me so happy!❤❤#7

Forever the goat🐐

Well Played Mauer.

Congrats to Joe. 100% deserved.

WELL PLAYER MAUER!!! 🐐

Lets go!

Congratulations Joe🎉

Atta boy Joe!! CDH strong!

Congratulations to Joe Mauer!

Somewhere Mickey Mantle is smiling

Great player but I'm suprised he is going in the HOF. Don Mattingly has slightly better stats and more home runs and 6 time all-star.

No way his stats warrant HOF! The hall is so watered down. It’s not special anymore!

now that I didn't expect! It is well deserved, dude was a career Twin who's wife had Twins... yet more proof that God's favorite game is baseball.

Lotta commenters outing themselves as people who don’t know ball

Thats right!

I knew Joe Mauer would make it into the Hall of Fame, congratulations.

I guess the Baseball Hall of Fame is a popularity contest....

Happy Trails to you Joe 😅😅😅

How is Joe mauer in the hall of fame?Steve Garvey & Dave Parker aren't.

I'm not going to say it's a travesty. I'll just say it's what's to be expected when the HOF now allows the like of Harold Baines in.

Who is this?

Must be others reasons..Bad Choice..

Congrats Adrian Beltre.......Go Rangers

Crazy a player who won nothing took his team nowhere and gets into the hall of fame on the first ballot but Jorge posada who was a big part of a team that won and dominated baseball does not get looked SHAME ..need to get better qualified writers and players to have more of a real say.

Joe Mauer, to the Hall of Fames..? No! way. Come on...this days any one can become a Hall of Famer..with an 260 BA.

no shade on joe but how is mauer getting into the hall and don mattingly isn't in? mattingly's stats are clearly better

I remember when #Mauer came up to the big leagues..the first 3 years..he was real good catcher, and hitter..but, after he received the big contract...Mauer numbers went down.. couldn't catcher any more..he was moved to first base..and never again was the player.. Minnesota.. though he would be. HALL OF FAMERS..NO! HES NOT.. SHEFFIELD..YES! SUPER STAR ALL THE WAY. FROM SAN DIEGO TO NEW YORK..

Over sheffield ? Really

Why not Beltran with better numbers?

It’s an absolute disgrace that this guy got in as a first ballot hall of famer. In his prime he was a great player, but neither his counting stats nor his accolades reflect that of a hall of famer, even his career JAWS is right on the fence of hall of fame status. Do not understand why this guy got in his first year at all.

Stoled the mvp from jeter in 2009

so were just wiping the 90s early 2000s as the steriod era? and not electing anyone from that time frame besides helton? who knew if Todd didn't roid? he was in the same era as barry mcgwire and clemens.

Must be "White Privilege" Mauer, doesn't got the numbers to be in the Hall of Fame.. He's a good person..but, "gets in on first try"? Come on.. That's why Baseball is dying, slowly but, ❤😂😂😂😂😢😮😅😊 surely..

He was a good player, a good guy and all that, but HOF? Not even close...I guess they lower the bar each year and anyone who was just "good" qualifies....

Hall of Fame is a total joke now not even worth talking about or visiting.

Hall of Very Good.. This is the start of average players making rhe HOF

He was a great player but cmon not a hall of famer...you can't tell me he is in the 1% of greatest to ever play

This guy is not a hall of fame player. Baseball HIF is rigged!

He sucked, it should be called the Hall of OK, if theyre going to let guys like this in!

Slap ball hitter that barely hit over .300 gets in 1st ballot lol

This is our World Series. Cuz we ain’t winning another one anytime soon lol

Congratulations Joe Mauer!
