M-V-Cheat? Nah, Joe Mauer’s Average
Joe Mauer has been caught red-handed cheating. Now, I’m not particularly concerned about what this says about Joe as a ballplayer, but this does indicate some things about him as a person. Sure, ladies, he looks like an upstanding young man, one that would remain faithful as a boyfriend.
However, this video clearly demonstrates that he secretly jokes about you behind your back to your hotter friend and then after a playful night of flirting while you were away at a conference they would consummate their lust with some doggy style sex and light bondage.
Either that or is this video pretty unremarkable because almost every ballplayer is taught to do this while growing up.
When I was on second, I know I always enjoyed trying to solve the complex combination of indicators, Morse code and fingertip semaphore. Nothing compared to the thrill of getting back to the dugout and letting everyone know you were able to figure out which of the three signs put down was the actual one and having them react like you’d solved the riddle of the Sphinx.
Really, the most impressive thing about an otherwise unexceptional piece of video, is the time spent detailing every little thing about how Mauer was signaling Kubel, and how the Tigers were reacting to this knowledge. Anything done with this level of detail is something to be applauded. A tip of my hat to you, good sir or madam.
