Walters: Mauer to have Twins?

[Seth Stohs]

In a tweet minutes ago by the Pioneer Press's Charley Walters, he wrote:

 

Joe and Maddie Mauer expecting Twins. "Were both really excited and couldn't be happier," the Twins' All-Star catcher said Wednesday.

 

I don't know if this is Minnesota Twins news completely, but it is Twins news on a couple of counts...

 

Remind me of when former Twins utility infielder Denny Hocking's wife had twins. He was said to have said, "I'm really glad I don't play for the 76ers!"

Thats funny... Great quote...

 

Congrats to Joe... Here's hoping for 20 fingers and 20 toes.

Confirmed by Twins PR Director Dustin Morse.

Who said Joe Mauer didn't have any extra base power.

[Chance]

Here's to hoping he has a boy and girl so he can name them Minnie and Paul!

 

honestly though I wish them good health through the pregnancy and hope they get two beautiful healthy children.

 

This is definitely Twins news.

I didn't realize you could get someone pregnant only getting to first base all the time.

[Nick Nelson]

Nice to hear. Good for them.

Came here expecting a gibe about double plays, leaving disappointed.

 

They may be expecting twins at the moment but I imagine Gardy will talk them into triplets.

Good stuff. Sorry it took 24 hours for someone to acknowledge

Perhaps there are special rules for Baby Jesus.

 

Pretty awesome news though for him. And kind of perfect for the face of the franchise.

Finally, some auspicious news for the team. In order to break our curse, they must be named Morris and Viola, they must be baptised beneath the center field batter's eye, and pine tree saplings must be planted in their honor. I'll prepare the ceremonial fires!

Kids are great, even when the are teenagers....good luck to the Mauers.

[Gernzy]

Grats to the Mauers!

Yes, great line! I think the Smalleys also had twins while Roy was with the team.

[Seth Stohs]

I did get confirmation from Hocking that it was his line (via Twitter)... I think it's hilarious.

Was Cuddyer already an ex-Twin when his girls were born? Congrats to the Mauers (and it does look promising for them to have at least 1 boy given Joe & his brothers).
