On Saturday morning, he received a rousing welcome from Twins Fest attendees. “I’m very emotional today, just walking through the excitement of Twins fans,” Mauer stated.
The former first-round choice is now the fifth Twins player to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. At 40, he is also the youngest player.
However, Mauer’s supporters say they adore him just as much for his personality off the field. “He is a good guy. Renee Ryan, a fan, stated, “He’s not only a great baseball player, but also a great person.”
“He’s such a great human being,” enthusiast Tom Gatzke said.
Mauer, who was born and raised in the Twin Cities, was a player who fans could readily relate to because he is like them. Even as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, the hometown hero’s most prized achievements are significantly more straightforward: “I’m still a dad and a proud member of this community,” Mauer concluded.
