Joe Mauer (the Wall) has been awarded the AL MVP award. He deserves it too. While catchers like Mauer aren’t known for their amazing batting, this Minnesota Twin has been able to get a lot done at the plate for his team. He won a Gold Glove this year for his fielding, which was outstanding, and his batting has been stellar. This combines to give him the triple crown of baseball awards, with the Gold Glove, MVP and batting award going to him. What a year, and with him on the team, it’s not surprise that the Twins were able to push through a hard fought division title this year. This kind of player is an example to his teammates and probably a big leader on the team too. Keep your eye on the Twins, because they seem to be improving each year!
