Joe Mauer is one hit away from 1,000 for his career, which would be the fifth-most ever by a catcher through age 27:
Ivan Rodriguez 1333
Ted Simmons 1279
Johnny Bench 1246
Joe Torre 1087
JOE MAUER 999

Mauer's Monday feat was historic →
fuckyeahmntwins:
KANSAS CITY — Joe Mauer’s 5-for-5 night at the plate with seven RBIs on Monday was not only an impressive feat, it was rare as well.
