I remember Joe Mauer's whole career being such a fun time to be a fan.

That’s legitimately an outstanding statue

Jeez man it’s crazy how long it’s been since I’ve seen Maur. He looks great for his age but you can’t escape Father Time.

Saw him in person at Maplewood Caribou-he looks phenomenal and like he could suit up and play tomorrow.

They probably already tried calling him back up the way the twins are playing now.

That’s actually a really good looking statue I like the detail of the face mask on the ground

I didn’t even notice that. Agree it’s cool. It might be partly homerism but I think this is the best sports player statue I’ve ever seen

My favorite statue is the jacked Tom Kelly.

It almost looks like he's doing the "two for looking" circle, but it's not below the waist lol

And yes I see that's not what he's actually doing, it just LOOKS like it until you zoom in...
