Attended the same High School as Hall of Famer and former Minnesota Twins' great legend Paul Monitor, the first time I heard of Mauer’s name was not when he got drafted by the Minnesota Twins, but a few months earlier when he was a blue chip recruit to play football at Florida State. Looked like Mauer made the right decision of picking baseball as a career, where he became the 1st catcher to lead the Major League in batting average when he accomplished the feat in 2006, and three years later, was named the AL MVP while constantly winning the AL Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards. Pictured here is his 2002 Topps Draft Picks Rookie Card, the field where he is standing on is the Twins' Minor League Complex based in Fort Myers, Florida, which I personally have been on that field as well as a Minor League interpreter for the Gulf Coast League Red Sox back in 2006.
