You’re right, Snowflake808, you only have to do 3 things in baseball. And it is so easy. Sorry. What was I thinking?

In HS I played with a relatively fat bill 1990-1994…just slightly bent. I was the odd one out on the team back then as it seemed everyone was wearing that giant trucker roll. I thought that not only looked stupid but it hindered my vision at third. Heck, I was really the odd one out looking back as I even wore my pants legs to cover just below the knee…anyway, I think the trucker roll will come back eventually…we all know styles are cyclical.

Comment on Mauer Gives $70 Million to Charity by Jason Wuerfel

Sorry for the delay in approving & responding to the comments, gentlemen. I didn’t notice until now my article from a year plus ago has gotten so much recent attention.

Mauer absolutely gave the team a break. That’s an undebatable fact. The Yankees or Red Sox would have been in an all-out bidding war for his services and he stood to make 30-40% more than he got on the free agent market.

I guess the hang-up several of you have is the word “charity.” You’ll have to pardon the expression. I guess maybe insanity would be a better term. Because only an insane person can look at a table with $250 million on it and walk away leaving $70 million behind. I prefer to think he has a soft spot in his heart for the hometown team that he would give back to the organization that drafted him #1 overall. But maybe he really is insane?

Doing a bit of surfing on the net to see if Mauer actually does give to charity, and came across this.

Wow. I have never read another article that left me feeling quite so empty. This is your idea of charity? You think Mauer gave the Twin Cities a break?

The guy has been nothing but disaster since the contract. Ruined the team.

I can’t stop laughing. The gift to the twin cities that keeps giving back. LOL.
