Joe Mauer will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame 

Always enjoyed watching him take the first pitch, even if it was perfect and the bases were loaded and the game on the line.

He just might stand as tall as Kirby Puckett. Maybe. But does he have 2 rings? Nope. Carry on...

Kirby Puckett is the face of MN sports history bar none. Not Joe Mauer, Kirk Cousins, Kyle Rudolph, Brian Robison, Chad Greenway, or the other whyte sports figures that MN fans seem to favor.
