The Minnesota Twins unveiled a bronze statue of Hall of Fame catcher Joe Mauer at Target Field before a game against the Detroit Tigers.

The Minnesota Twins honored their six-time MLB All-Star and 2009 American League MVP Joe Mauer with a statue outside of Target Field in Minneapolis on Sunday. Mauer, 41, is a St. Paul native and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2024 as a first-ballot entry. Now, he's enshrined in his city, steps outside of the Twins' ballpark.

The plaza outside Gate 34 at Target Field got a bit more crowded on Sunday as the Twins unveiled an 8-foot bronze statue of Hall of Fame catcher Joe Mauer.
