I grew up watching Mauer, Kubel, Cuddyer and Morneau; they were my favorite Twins players to watch and I'm sad to see the last of four retire from baseball...
Cuddyer Actually Owned A Batting Title Of All Things
Morneau is great behind the mic.
Same man so many great memories.
Spencer they never anything though. They were one and done
June of 2006 is when i watched my first twins game and mauer was the first batter i watched and from.that point he was my favourite player
I know Joe doesnt have the counting stats to be a HOFer, but he has the accolades.
- #1 Overall Pick
- 6 time All Star
- MVP
- 3 batting titles (Most ever by a catcher & only AL catcher ever to do so.)
- 3 time GG winner
- 5 Time Silver Slugger
- Highest batting average by a Catcher in MLB history.
- Second most hits in Twins history
- 9th All time in WAR by catcher. Everyone in front of him is A HOFer.
- 2nd Highest OBP ever by a catcher
- 5th highest slugging % ever for a catcher.
- 2nd Highest OBP Ever by a catcher.
- Longest On Base streak ever by a Twin.
This sounds like a HOFer in my book.
Not to mention he was also a great guy off the field, as we know that’s one of the reasons no one got in the hall of fame this year
Maybe I'm biased but if Torii Hunter and Joe Mauer never get in the HoF I'll respect the bullshit that is their voting committee even less
Those r hall of fame stats and accolades. Especially considering he retired at like 35 and could still be playing to this day probably getting at least 120 hits a season still
5 star football recruit
@@rynebrown4753 he was the 2000 heisman favorite
Mauer and Ichiro. They don’t blow you away with their strength, but they made the game beautiful with their singles. Joe Mauer single up the middle is classic. Happy to see that Jorge Polanco is lookin Like the next one
Made the game beautiful? LOL
SeoulGeneration yeah because not everything has to be a homerun you dunce, these guys specialised in getting the hit rather than making it a long ball.
Nick R Luis Arraez is looking like Joe Jr. Too!
They never hit for power unless they need to which is why Ichiro is known as the hall of famer who doesn’t prefer swinging 100%.
Polanco isn't the guy, can't stay healthy. Agree about Mauer and Ichiro though.
Joe mauer=hall of fame legend
Joe Mauer had one of the best batting eyes in the history of baseball. Between Joe and Rod Carew, it's hard to believe either one of them ever struck out. Thanks for the memories Joe!
Thanks for always taking the first two strikes and then hitting into a 6-4-3
SeoulGeneration better to drive the pitch count up and attempt to move the runner over rather than sit back and strike out
I mean he only struck out once in high school
Mauer has got to be my favorite baseball player of all time. I spent my entire childhood watching him play and I have tons of respect for him. Would love to meet him someday.
Thank you Joe for everything you've done and for being a Twin until the very end
Congratulations to Joe! 2024 Hall of Fame! ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾
Minnesota will always miss and remember a hometown great! #7 will always live on for all Twins fans!
My favorite player since I was 4
One of the prettiest swings in all of baseball history. Could hit it to any part of the field and with some power. Mauer is a HOFer.
So sad such an amazing player wont be a player in this league anymore!
Yep, young men are dying fighting terrorism and wow, we won't get to watch the coward spend his money...
Mauer will always be my favorite player from the twins For ever
Yankee's fan 99 & little yanks 10 watch a Kirby Puckett video your mind will change quick
Alpha Male yeah pucket is very awesome
My favorite player since his debut! And I was 1 years old when he debuted...
Not only was maurer a Legend he was so loyal to the twins, even if another team offers him a really good contract he would decline the contract just to help the twins
Grew up watching joe right here in mn and the way he was a part of the city and state was something else he was always so much more than an incredible (possible HOF) player he was a legend, loved seeing him play behind the Tv and live. Once a twin always a twin and in my opinion u are the greatest twin ever
I’m gonna cry
With Joy that he is finally gone and Twins can sign some good players now that Mr. Selfish is home counting his millions...
Wish there would've been more post-season moments :(
Minnesota did a bad job of building a team around Mauer and Morneau
Team game
Loved watching Mauer play. Got to see him several times in person when the Twins would come to Boston to play the Sox.
Gonna miss him, such a great player
rather embarrassing you didn’t show the diving out he made at home plate against the Yankees
Ik but there was so much greatness so yeah, besides the angry thumb wouldve tooken away for the real deal himself
Joe Mauer... Greek God of Sideburns
Well-played, Mauer.
Im so happy you inculding the inside the park home run i couldn't find the video anywhere
I miss this twins team especially mauer
My dad worked for the twins organization so I love them
He deserve to be in the hall of Fame ,,,
Anyone else think he was safe at 1:48? The throw was perfect but damn near the worst tag I’ve ever seen.
Thank you, Joe.
For destroying this team for 10 years....
Great left handed hitting catcher
wow, I didn't think I'd cry at the end
cant like this video enough
Where has the time gone? I remember when this guy first came up, and now I flip the tv on and all of a sudden his hair is grey and his number retired. Life is short. Don't go through life wondering what if? Leave it all on the table guys. God bless.
Wished he would of left the millions that he didn't earn on the table to help out the team. What a joke....
I'm a nats fan through and through but I am absolutely a lifetime Joe Mauer fan. Just everything you would ever want out of a catcher. Disappointed he never got to the championship series
Those sideburns are rocking man .
And now is a 1st ballot Hall of Famer
Twins fan here: 2000's twins did great building a team, winning pennants moving up! Looking good. 2010 resign "baby Jesus" to that new contract, instant last place, never back again until...after he leaves, use his $$ to make a team. Boom! 1st place again
Don't care what anyone thinks. This man is the best catcher ive seen (only 21 may be more before my time). This guy was everything to Minnesota. He was a hometown guy. I watched him, Torii and Michael. I wish these guys would have won a world series, they deserve it. If his career didn't end at catcher like he did, he would have been the best stat wise but he couldn't get there. That's why I say what I say. Enjoy Retirement Joe
And im glad they let him go out the way he did. I actually have proof on facebook (not saying I had ANYTHING to do with this just like to think i did lol) where I stated, and even tagged the twins Facebook page, I said "for his last game I want you to have him come out in his catcher gear. Literally almost shit myself when I seen this. Obviously my comment didn't get recognition for them, but I did get quite a bit of likes. Sorry Joe and Torii are my favorite players. I remember times we would go to the game and get there for batting practice and I would get some balls smacked to me from all the twins. Never did I bring a pen which is really dumb. Have like a bucket full if their practice balls lol. Never could get a homer tho.
Man Mauer was such a joy to watch. Although he had too big of a contract he will still be missed dearly.
As far as fan marketability, Joe will be entrenched as a Twins legend. He quietly did his job with zero problems in public relations. Ownership utilized this at Twinsfest by practically placing him in an ivory tower for autographs.
As for as plate production, he was grossly overpaid. Batting average is the most hollow stat there is in baseball. RBI's are the meat of a hitter. Ask yourself this. What would you rather have at 1B or DH for 23 million a year?
.269 / 35 / 110
Or
.322 / 10 / 68
Not even close. Paying Joe that kind of money (before salaries got crazy) cost the Twins a true ace pitcher AND one, if not two, 100 RBI-a-season position players. Cuddyer could have stayed a Twin also if you paid Mauer what he was actually worth- 4 to 7 million dollar a year range instead of the insane 23 million dollar range.
The fans loved Joe Mauer and it's a fans game in the end but as a player he was given a contract that made no room for a small market team to sign key players for championship runs. Twins could never sign a top ten pitcher to a long term contract in any of the years Joe was under that huge contract.
I liked Joe but when you're 6'5 235 you've got to be hitting 30+ bombs every year just like you did to JUSTIFY the salary after the one season you actually did hit almost 30 bombs! That's why he was given the salary because it was assumed he was going to do that! Also, he NEVER restructured for his team to be more competitive. When he himself had to know he was overpaid, he still didn't restructure to help his own team sign and resign key players he knew the fans also loved. That is why I cringe when I think of the Joe Mauer contract. It is just painful.
Yes, batting average takes a back seat to OBP. RBI's are a team statistic, (you can't control who is or isn't on in front of you) it does not determine the value of a hitter.
With that said, Im not much of a Joe fan.He definetly had a bad contract, His last 5 years were very pedestrian. He was valuable at his peak however, almost as valuable offensively as Johnny Bench
Mauer
.358 wOBA
122 wrc+
Bench
.362 wOBA
125 wrc+
He was a very productive hitter.
He had 6 seasons over a 130 wrc+(Bench had 5). 5 seasons over a 5 war(Bench had 6)
Will he get into the HOF? Probably not, His peak might not be long enough to receive that honor. Although I understand the argument for him
RBIs are the worst stat in baseball. BA and RBIs are both horrible stats.
CLASS
LESS
1:45 Oh wow, I never realized Livan was with the Twins
2:30 Wow, a catcher hitting an inside the park home run
This man deserves HOF look at all the all stars, silver slugger awards, i believe he won a gold glove. Absolute legend and class act man
he'll be in the HOF because of what of all his hitting stats as a catcher. hes one of the goats
3 Gold Gloves.
3 batting titles too. Only AL catcher to win even one
Even the highlight reel is classy
Damn I miss baseball 😥😥😥 (damn COVID-19)
Still cant believe I was at the game where he hir his first homerun
I was at the game where he PH and got that HR against BOS. and still lost at the Dome.
I was at the game where he hit his only career walk off home run! Still can’t believe I was that lucky!
Hall of fame
Catchers should have a lower standard when it comes to the Hall of fame this cat was arguably the best hitter in the game for a 3 to 5 year stretch he was that good
Mauer had potential to be the greatest catcher of all time (if we look at the combination of his offense and defense).
I doubt he would have been a force in the lineup like Piazza (Mauer only once hit 20+ home runs in his career and never hit 30+ in a season, and only twice had a slugging percentage of over .500 if we dont count his limited plate appearances in 2004), but Mauer always had high batting average and high OBP.
But again, if we look at both how well-disciplined he was at the plate and the production he brought, and how great his defense was, Mauer should have been the greatest overall catcher in baseball history.
if you didnt cry when mauer retired in that moment in time, youre not a true twins fan
Never did roids. Good dude
He retires and the twins now start winning again? Doesnt make sense
greekosdarkness he went downhill the last few years of his career. Plus the absence of his contract freed up a lot of salary room
Makes perfect sense. His contract handicapped the team from getting other talent
I remember when he made the cover of MLB the show
Pucket Joe Mauer what do you think twins fans? I believe his catching alone deserves the Hall.
I was at Joe Mauer's last game
(6:29)
A Snooze fest....
His 2007 inside the park home run starts at 2:28
You forgot the home run derby at Yankee stadium
6:27 I’m in the background
Let's concentrate on the first five years, not the last ten.
Good individual accomplishments
But sad to say the Twins never a won or even had good playoff run with Him
It's little hard to cheer for that
Joe Mauer has the best arm on a Cather ever
For counting money...
What about the behind the back catch
Ngl was complete luck but cool
Joe "Jack Bauer" Mauer
Where’s his behind the back catch off the wall
In the trash can with the rest of his joke of a career...
SeoulGeneration I hate people like you.
All those playoff highli.....oh yeah, there are none. Do yourself a favor and look up Kirby Puckett highlights instead. He helped bring 2 World Series victories to Minnesota.
forgot how shitty the dome was😂
Plz retire his number
They are in june
Lucas Oberg oh
Hall of shame
Funny I missed seeing any post season or world series highlights. Oh that's right, there are none. Ironic that the Twins are good now that he is gone from the team.
Uhm, they won the division 4 times and a wild card appearance during Joe's tenure.
So wait one player wins world series?
So he is personally responsible for not getting the World Series he is only one player this isn't basketball where one guy can do it all
@@dalton2k538 $25 million a year for that return...:LOL
Why do people keep criticizing highly paid players when the team doesn't win it all?
COST 2 MILLION A MONTH FOR 8 YRS. GREAT PLAYER TOO MUCH MONEY
He definitely was not a power hitter, he hit ALOT of singles...14 of his 15 years he never even hit 90 RBIs, only one year he hit 96...In contrast, Johnny Bench, also a catcher, had 6 100 plus RBI seasons...This next stat I think tells it all... The most hits in one season was a 197 for Mauer and 177 for Bench but Bench had OVER "50" more RBIs...With 20 less hits even!! ... Basically Joe Mauer was paid 30 million a year to hit singles, and he hit slot of them.
Even in the whole minor leagues. When he was down there he hit. Comes to 10.
catchers don't last long
can i get a free baseball hlove?
Abel Vidales hlove
Look back... no thanks lots of dead money freed up
Hate to say it because Mauer is a great guy, but you're absolutely right. First year of being able to spread around his money and the Twins have the best record in baseball. Not a lot of great seasons when Mauer played
Uh huh, and do you think the stingy Pohlad family would have opened up their dusty wallets for other players? At least that shitty family's hand was forced, due to Joe's popularity. It's easy to play "what if".
Now, I look back. I feel like we got him cheap. Compared to everyone else getting 300M +. lmao
@@onomatopoeia162003 He was the highest paid catcher in history at the time.
How many titles did they win with him, should have traded him long ago
Couldn't, the coward had a no trade agreement. He knew any other team/fans would have eaten him alive...
I'm not saying HOF but this guy wasnt absolutely special obviously twins HOF
mehhh, didn't even reach 2,500 hits. kinda above average player, not one of the greatests.
Exactly. Was just the most hyped prospect almost ever and turned out goid
I don't mean to be that guy, but
0-10 in the playoffs for Joe Mauer.
Jose Carranza bro I’ve seen you everywhere just stop
@@mlbmoonshots6255 I'm a big fan of baseball. I miss baseball.
Jose Carranza it’s cause we always had to go against the dang Yankees and we never ever have had really any depth lol
They had to play the Yankees every year
A mid market team like Minnesota can’t compete with the Yankees checkbook
Yeah because in a team game the wins and losses fall on 1 player. Righhtttt
One of the WORST signings of MN Sports.
Boring Joe. Forgettable guy
Dude was NEVER clutch. Hilarious he sucked up $25 million a year to slap two out singles with no one on.
