Mauer Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

mazeophobic: It's just too hard to maintain in here, no one ever has an extra piece of paper anymore to help maintain caches. Just a friendly tip, if you go out caching for the day, carry some paper, maybe a small waterproof container, or even a replacement cache or two, it really helps out the cache owners, and is good karma. :) I get so many, "I didn't have any paper" logs, probably 50 to 1, to the "I added a new piece of paper". Ok, end of rant, happy caching.

Mauer is considered by some experts to be the best catcher in baseball and has been said by some, including Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., to have one of the best swings in baseball. In his breakout 2006 season, Mauer became the first catcher in major league history to lead the majors in batting average and the first American League catcher to win the batting title, finishing with an average of .347. ] In 2008, he became the first American League catcher to win the batting title twice when he led the AL with an average of .328; Mauer also won his first Gold Glove Award. In 2009, he became the first catcher to lead the league in batting average, on base percentage, and slugging percentage in a single year, and the first player to lead the American League in all three since George Brett did so in 1980. Mauer's .365 average, which is the all-time highest mark among catchers in MLB history, led Major League Baseball. Mauer also won his second consecutive Gold Glove in 2009. Mauer was named the American League's 2009 MVP by a near-unanimous decision (27 out of 28 first place votes).

On March 21, 2010, Mauer agreed to an eight-year contract extension with the Twins worth $184 million, through the 2018 season. It is the richest contract in the history of major league baseball for a catcher.
