Joe Mauer spent 15 seasons from 2004-2018 playing for the Minnesota Twins. Although he spent time at first base and designated hitters, he’s best remembered for the years he spent behind the plate. One of the best offensive catchers in MLB history, Mauer is not only the only catcher to win an American League batting title but is also the only catcher to ever capture three batting titles, a feat he achieved in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Mauer was also a six-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger Award winner and three-time Gold Glove Award winner. In 2009, he was named AL MVP after a season which saw him lead the league in slugging percentage, on-base percentage and batting average, the first catcher to ever finish first in the latter category with a .365 average. The Twins retired his jersey #7 in 2019.
Born on April 19, 1983 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Mauer went to Cretin-Derham High School (the same school as Hall of Famer Paul Molitor). He excelled at both baseball and football and became the first person to ever be named the USA Today High School Player of the Year in multiple sports. He was also named All-State in basketball. Mauer initially committed to play quarterback at Florida State before being picked by the Twins in the 2001 MLB Draft (1st overall pick). He made his debut in the majors on April 5, 2004. A fan favorite in Minnesota, Mauer appeared on the cover of the PlayStation games “MLB 10: The Show” and “MLB 11: The Show”. He also appeared in tv commercials for such brands as ESPN, Pepsi and Gatorade.
