JOE MAUER BASEBALL BIRTHDAY QUOTE OF THE DAY FOR APRIL 19TH

Happy Birthday to long time All-Star Joe Mauer, born on this day in 1983.

Joe Mauer is one of the greatest hitting catcher's of all-time. He holds the record for highest batting average for a catcher with a .365 average in 2009, the year he won the American League MVP. He is the only catcher in major league history to lead the league in batting three years. Incredible.

Mauer broke in with the Twins in 2004. In that time frame, he has been a six time all-star, three time Gold Glove winner and five time Silver Slugger winner.

Though injuries have slowed him down and he doesn't catch anymore, he is still a great player destined for Cooperstown.

In his honor, he is today's recipient of the Baseball Birthday Quote of the Day,




"Offensively, he has no weaknesses. Defensively, he's one of the best catchers in the league. I think when God made his blueprint for catchers, he stood Joe out.
--Joe Maddon, talking about Joe Mauer
