I’ve compiled some now famous quotes by who else, but Joe Mauer. Most of them were overheard at his various games. Also, some were taken from his many post game interviews.

1. “He tried talking to me, but I knew the guy had the ball. So I pretty much knew…

2. “I had a couple of good at-bats. But tonight it felt good, felt comfortable at the plate.”

3. “I was trying to hit the ball hard somewhere, but both times right at people,”

4. “You start feeling it’s late, it’s been a long year, … You just try to battle through it. You have to fight through that and catch another second wind.”

5. “It didn’t feel too good and every inning after it kept getting worse.”

These are just some of the exact words that the famous Twins Catcher said. You can tell that he really is a word class athlete!
