He's
Mauer is totally unemotional, and he even joked his mother tells him he has no pulse, but this press conference was the most emotional I’ve ever seen him. You wouldn’t know it if you weren’t also a stoic midwesterner who’s been watching him his whole life, but he actually choked up a little bit, which is the Joe Mauer equivalent of screaming and breaking into tears of joy.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all."
~ Earl Weaver
"In God we trust. All others must provide evidence."
