Twins great Joe Mauer's jersey retirement ceremony

Watch as former Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer's jersey is retired at Target Field.

[@joshrowe2275]

Imagine being able to retire in your 30s and your kids still be little. The amazing times you could spend with your family.

[@clarab7718]

Everyone should be able to spend that time with their children.

[@superbrownbrown]

Much like Don Mattingly and David Wright, Joe Mauer was on his way to becoming an immortal player until the persistent and continuous injuries set in. The ceremony was excellent and well deserved.

[@jedidr4918]

And all 3 should be in the hall of fame

[@superbrownbrown]

@@jedidr4918 *Unfortunately I don't think any of them will ever get in. I give Mauer the best chance, because he played the most difficult position between the three. Mauer and Mattingly each had an MVP season, and Wright had the most All-star appearances (7 for Wright to 6 for Mattingly and Mauer). Unfortunately none of them won a championship, which doesn't help their causes. Beyond that, each player has a myriad of qualifying offensive and defensive awards and accolades. I agree they all belong in the Hall, but I just don't think it's going to happen for them.*

[@michaeltakahashi3468]

Buster Posey will be the next person to have this moment. As a Cubs fan, he is a true leader. I hope he stays with the Giants and he gets remembered too just like Mauer.

[@jackkdaiker380]

I was at this event and we just wanna say we love u joe

[@Beanboozled7777]

I remember seeing this Live and I was very emotional because I have always looked up to Joe Mauer and Joe Nathan and I have an autographed jersey from Joe Nathan. I got it at the Twinsfest.

[@chadmcfly1299]

Padres fan but I liked Joe Mauer. Class and effort, only thing you can ask a fan. Twins had a good one.

[@avail657]

Damn it, got something in my eye

[@ryanduray1]

Joe is a legend. A pure hitter and class act all the way.

[@sentientmlem727]

I was at this game with my wife. Lovely moment in Minnesota sports history.

[@BrookeAndSutton]

Nobody deserves this more. Way to go Joe!

[@mrfeast7751]

He so deserved it

[@johnathonreed4359]

Beautiful. Love you joe

[@cronoesify]

Really puts the hate in perspective. The dude was an absolute legend for the first half of his career. Injuries are a bitch, man. Concussions are killer in this sport.

[@jedidr4918]

You’re not crying, I am

[@christianlorre]

anyone else disappointed the guy who used to advertise head and shoulders ends up shaving his head?

[@keisukeh1066]

Mr mauer from the friendly Klub oh HUMBOLDT WS

[@mikes7446]

Got damn his jersey already getting retired.

[@topherwyatt8398]

Right too soon

[@timallen609]

A local legend that would be playing on Sundays had he chosen that route . Seen the man in High school playing QB ...........wow ! Anyway hometown hero it made sense to retire his number because no way would any other Twin would be allowed to wear it . The locals would go bat shit crazy .

[@MrLucasD123]

Too bad Dave Winfield couldn't be there

[@williamdunphy352]

Emcreed by Dick Bremer & Cory Provous

[@Maroonlink5]

But wait, Harmon Killebrew was a racist don't you remember from his anti-black comments in 1974. How come his number is amongst the best of Minnesota history when he so said such racial things. MN is better than this. Please don't look into anything I said or else you may be a racist as well

[@jostopholees]

Not a hall of famer

[@cortezmauricio5654]

i mean in mlb,nfl,nba,nhl theirs alot of players in the hall who arent real hall of famers but got in eitherway
