I appreciate the kind words. I think each day it seems we are making more and more progress in normalizing mental health in our society. Only a few years ago my anxiety and struggles was a part of me that I was afraid to share with even the most trusted people in my life, so I’d say there’s definitely progress. Everyone has a role to play, even if it’s just lending an ear to listen or a shoulder for someone to lean on.

Great story! I have found that the most important items in my collection have a story that somehow connects me to either another time, another person, or a back to a feeling/emotion that I felt. This is a great example of that and I really enjoyed reading it. I wish I could hear more stories like this. Thank you so much for sharing, I really appreciate it.

Mauer has been one of my favorites. A few seasons back, I pulled a cap he wore in Spring Training from a Grab Bag at the Twins Authentics booth at Target Field. I was able to get it signed during the next series I was at Target Field. One of my favorite pieces to my collection.

Fantastic story! Isn't this kind of connection what it's all about?

My only issue is, I want to see the cap!!

That’s awesome! I love Joe too but mainly because my Great Grandma loves him. She calls him “Wonder Boy.” She loves watching the Twinkies and loved watching Joe when he was still playing.
