MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN – Fans throughout Minnesota watched as Joe Mauer grew from a multi-sport prep star in St. Paul to one of the greatest Twins of all-time, one who will have his Number 7 retired by the club this coming Saturday. Now, fans can relieve this remarkable hometown journey, as the Minnesota Twins today announced plans for “A Twin for the Ages,” the official illustrated chronicle of Joe Mauer’s historic career. The book is available for pre-order at twinsbaseball.com/mauerbook and will be shipped in August 2019, with all net proceeds directly benefitting the Minnesota Twins Community Fund.
