People in Minnesota are normally placid, quiet and reserved but if Buffet Bill Smith and the boys don't sign hometown hero Joe Maurer there will be an uproar among fans unwitnessed previously in MLB.
Maurer taking less money to stay at home and play for his home state team is not unprecedented, Kent Hrbek once did the same thing.
As a fan who has cheered for the Twins since their first year in the Twin Cities, I am holding my breath but confident Joe stays home.
