Great article! You've done it again Stu!!!

I think a sale could be really good, but could also be devastating. How long after he bought the North Stars did it take Norm Green to move the team? Three years? I know the Twins' nice stadium is good insurance, but I'm still a little nervous.

You could tell how honored he felt to be there, and by the amount of fans who made it despite the travel issues on Friday.

YEAH JOE!

I made it for the induction. Was very surprised by the order the inductees went in. Joe's entire speech was just thanking other people. By the time he got around to thanking his in-laws I burst out laughing. The Joe Mauer-ness of it all. One thing that stood out pretty clearly to me: Rod Carew is NOT doing well. He barely made it to his seat, the closest to the entry on stage, with a cane and Tony had to help him. I'm hoping it's just a temporary thing but I don't feel confident about that. Prayers to Rodney.

Err.... make that a 17 hour drive to New York. But we made it.

Flying to New York tomorrow morning!!!!

I feel like Randy Bush isn't that random.

Congrats to Joseph Patrick Mauer. Who is going to New York? (My very sincere apologies if a thread has already been made, I tried searching but couldn't find one. If there is another one please direct me.) I'm trying to find info about the ceremony. I'd like to bring a lot of water to give away, but I'm not sure it's even allowed. The HOF website isn't very particular. Looking for more info from people who have been there recently. I made my arrangements as far as transportation and lodging before the actual announcement, I'm just wondering more about stuff on the actual day. Anyone else going? I'll bring water!!!!

I will never forget you, Stu. Thank you.

Who do you think will introduce Joe Mauer on induction day? I'm kinda pulling for LNP.

I have never been more proud of something I had so little to do with. Congrats Joe. Watching your whole career has been one of my greatest pleasures. I started crying half way through the Beltre announcement. Thinking of my biggest Joe memories is hard for a lot of reasons, because everything seems to much together in my head, and I tend to think of him as his whole career/person. But thew few acute memories that come to mind: The time he played right field in 2011. When he took that super borderline pitch in Boston and then hit the next one for a 3 run HR in the top of the 9th. I forget what year, but that whole at bat was insane. When he stopped a news conference about his knees to tell Sid his tape recorder stopped. Good times. Tickets are bought and hotel rooms are reserved. See you there buddy.

Where does this come from? Are the contracts ending?

I'm extremely happy to hear Provus will be taking over. I'm a little bit more confused about where this blackout restriction is coming from. Did their contracts with Bally end? I guess that would make sense in Bally is going belly up.

Love ya Stu. Remind me of the time I stayed up all night to write this: https://www.twinkietown.com/2017/5/6/14878698/top-ten-reasons-why-joe-mauer-sucks-minnesota-twins-mlb
