Joe Mauer Region: #2 vs #15

#2.  There'll Be No Play!

The best game log the WGOM ever had was a nice consolation for me not being able to go to the game because I couldn't get off work.

#15.  Mauer Wins First Batting Title

I remember watching this game very intently, very much wanting Mauer to become the first AL catcher to win a title, and very much wanting Jeter not to catch him.  Mauer doubled in the fourth to make us breathe a little easier, then single in the fifth to clinch it.

  1. I’m basically always going to pick the event that sends the Twins to the postseason, but man, this was a tough choice. A Twin leading the league in an unprecedented way, and beating Cap’n Jetes? Could only have been sweeter if both of Mauer’s hits to claim the title were pasta.
