Mauer is the 4th Hall of Famer from St Paul, MN, others being Paul Molitor, Jack Morris and Dave Winfield. Minnesotas first Hall of Famer Chief Bender was from Crow Wing County, MN.

Re: Joe Mauer Hall of Famer?

Only Piazza had a higher batting average, .308 to .306. None of them had a higher On Base Percentage. Most of Mauer's good numbers came when he was a catcher. After the concussions and permanent position change, his numbers went down. Piazza had a higher BA. And about 300 more home runs. over 400 m...

Rolen was elected on his 6th ballot, Mauer might be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Rolen shouldn't have been elected on his 60th ballot. There's a dearth of great candidates right now. There's at least 20 players in Cooperstown worse than Torri Hunter and Hunter is trending off the ballot. Several o...

Re: Poll: Best All Time FCS Champ

NDSU had done more than anyone expected. They passed App St 3 in a row record, 6 flags that Georgia Southern has. It's really not that important to me who is the best of the best. I just love heading to Dallas for some BBQ, even when NDSU isn't there. Almost a 2nd home to me now.

Re: Hey, DJH....(The Joe Mauer Memorial Thread)

Joe just set a Twins record of 43 consecutive games in which he reached first base. :coffee: Amazing, in a year in which despite career HIGH's in PA's and AB's, he's got career lows in BA, OBP, and OPS. Worth every penny, I'm sure. :coffee: :coffee: Even with a severe concussion he was a better hit...

I'm sure that won't be an extra impact on the second night of a back-to-back
Wolves had 2 starters out and lost in OT. Fun game, but the leprechauns in the rafters were tough to beat.

Re: 2023 NFL Season

I like the Packers chances better if some of the players comeback from injuries.

Watson vs Luepke for the NDSU connection to the game.

Big game in Beantown. Can the Wolves takedown the Celtics as the 2nd game of a back to back? Going to be a tough game.
