What else can you say about this guy? He doesn't play for the Twins for the first month of the season and then in his first at-bat, amid a standing ovation, he hits the ball over the left-centerfield fence. Are you serious?
In his next at bat Joe lined one down the left field line for a double. Since the Royals were so scared of Joey dominating they walked him in his 3rd at bat. If it wasn't for a hit and run gone wrong Joe would have had a 3 for 3 night. With all hits going to the opposite field which isn't a big surprise. Hell even Joe attempted to drag a bunt down the 3rd base line because Mark Tehan was playing and Joe is cool like that.
Also of note: There was a lot of talk about Joe Mauer's new walkup song that was to debut last night...only it didn't. Joe decided to go with the classic (and my favorite walkup song for him) "What you know" by T.I.. I'm glad he went back to this song because he hit .347 while using it and the Twins were awesome. Hopefully it sticks.
