The Minnesota Twins have seen a resurgence in success in large part due to the emergence of several young players. Mixed into that group has also been one veteran who has experienced a resurgence of his own. That is Joe Mauer and he should reach a career milestone in the coming days.
Mauer has already put himself atop the Twins leaderboards once this season. On Opening Day, Mauer with his 14th consecutive Opening Day start passed Harmon Killebrew for the most consecutive Opening Day starts in Twins history. Mauer is about to follow Killebrew into another area of baseball history, the 2,000 hit club.
