The Twins are known for their great hometown-feel commercials on TV. This one is great with Joe Mauer, Joe Nathan, and Joe Mauer's mom (it really is his mom). It is in the basement of Mauer's parents' home and if you stop scenes you can see a framed Mauer jersey and above the fireplace is a photo of the three Mauer brothers (Billy, Jake, Joe) when they were little. All three eventually played for the Twins.

Click on, "Take It Outside."

Bill had shoulder problems and didn't get past A ball. He works at a Ford dealership in town. Jake got as high as AA, I believe, but had elbow problems. He is a minor league manager for the Twins in Florida.
