Question of the day: "Does Joe Mauer actually enjoy listening to rap?"
For the past few seasons, Joe Mauer's at-bat theme songs have either been songs by T.I. or St. Paul native, Antonio Richardson. Mauer plans to unveil his new walk-up melody during tonight's game vs KC ("The Joe Mauer Theme Song").
If you have been paying any attention to the Twins the past five years, you are well aware that Mauer is the quintessential All-American white boy. Wouldn't something like "Jack and Diane" by John Mellencamp be a more fitting song for someone of Joe's character? So why would Joey routinely pick rap songs for his at-bat music? Is this his way of passive-aggressively trying to prove to the world that he is more "bad-ass" than we think? Hmmm, something to think about.
Whatever. As long as he hits .347, wins batting titles, silver slugger awards, gold gloves, throws out 43% of potential base stealers, and wears the tools of ignorance for the greatest team in all of baseball, I don't care!
