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...

[JeffntheInternet]

I still can't believe I got to go to his last game. It wasn't planned, we had the tickets over a month in advance. I couldn't believe it when he came out to catch one last time. Goosebumps.

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.

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

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!

[tannermarlow]

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.

[Celticslayer]

Thank you Joe for everything you've done and for being a Twin until the very end

[StarTropicsKing]

Minnesota will always miss and remember a hometown great! #7 will always live on for all Twins fans!

My favorite player since his debut! And I was 1 years old when he debuted...

[iluvtv]

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.

[dcfanchris]

Loved watching Mauer play. Got to see him several times in person when the Twins would come to Boston to play the Sox.

[flightphantom]

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

[beastmoderips]

Mauer will always be my favorite player from the twins For ever

[spencer]

Going the opposite field for a grand slam from an outside cutter from Freaking Justin Verlander INSANE.

[cynsha]

[Jesusesel]

He deserve to be in the hall of Fame, ,,

[StrickenBipCasket]

Anyone else think he was safe at 1:48? The throw was perfect but damn near the worst tag I’ve ever seen.

[AlexAlexAlex]

rather embarrassing you didn’t show the diving out he made at home plate against the Yankees
