Joe Mauer's GREATEST defensive plays ever! 

Mauer was robbed of a gold glove at 1B. Everyone will remember him for his legendary career as a catcher but his defense at first was impeccable.

I would always pick the twins as a kid while playing mlb on my ps2. This dude was legendary

I was privileged to be a Twins fan for the entirety of his career and owe much of my love of the game to watching him play. Hats off to you, Joe.

Giants fan here. Mauer and Ichiro were my favourite non-SFG players to watch. Simply amazing. I remember watching that game against the Yankees, that dive at home plate. Tie ballgame, bottom of the 9th, speedy runner in Gardner. A literal game-saving heads-up play. And my favorite part , Minnesota kid playing for Minnesota his whole career. ❤❤ Love ya Joe! ❤❤❤

Grew up sporting my white Sox (yes I’m miserable) but nothing but respect and appreciation for getting to watch my hated rival carve out a legacy. Hope you’re enjoying retirement Joe!

He was a beast

Joe was also the #1 ranked HS football player his senior year coming out of Cretin in MN. Polished 6'5 pocket passer recruited by Florida St and Bobby Bowden. Really good basketball player growing up too. Guy was just an incredible athlete.

Cool to see all that Mauer at 1B. That tag on Gardner was amazing. Why don't I remember that?

Joe Mauer is an all time great catcher he defense and his hitting were truly unique that’s why he’s in the Hall of Fame

incredible baseball player, even better person.

Mauer is one of the best catchers to play the games. I think his MLB career was so long was due to the fact that he was able to switch over and play first base. I think at the time he got a lot of first base starts the league was loaded at first base.

Honestly, incredible editing. I would have thought it was all one game if the teams and positions didn't change. Crossfading audio was on point.

What a great player , Best catcher ever

Who else remembers playing MLB the Show '09, hearing the walkup announcer say: Now batting, the catcher: Joe... _Mmmaueeerrr!_

All those batting titles. Best catcher ever!

Honestly robbed of a first base gold glove in addition to those gold gloves at catcher.

That behind the back off the bricks will be my favorite play of all time 😂

Back when the rules allowed catchers to be athletes to defend the plate, Mauer was so smart maneuvering the plate

That catch

One of the best behind the plate

Joe Mauer and Yadier Molina, the last of their kind.

Well played, Joe Mauer. Your entire career.

Emotional when you grow up watching your hometown player's any player for that matter for many years.

I saw the title and thought, "he made more than one??"

Johan, Mauer, Morneau, and Frankie was the greatest and most disappojnting year in Twins history.

Dude was safe in first clip

That catch at 2:17

Players who stay with their first team and retire when it's time gain the respect of others more so than guys who go trophy hunting at the end of their careers.

Mauer means 'wall' in German. The name fits.

Twins FOX?

Remember when umpires used to get shit right

Twins GOAT

I have to say that first play with Catalanotto at home, he was safe. He swiped the base at the last possible second. If you pause at 0:34 you can see it.

Can’t say I care too much for the twins organization, but #7 was the Man

Worst hall of famers ever

thats my minnesota first ballot hall of famer 🥹
