MIAMI – There was a time, long ago, when Terrell Suggs and Joe Mauer were just two St. Paul kids dominating whatever ballgame was in season.
Joe was the quarterback.
“And I was the center,” Terrell said. “Jimmy Lee Rec Center in St. Paul. I was 10 years old. Joe was 9. Been awhile, man.”
It sure has.
When Joe came to his athletic fork in the road, he chose baseball, as some might recall. Pretty good choice and certainly a more health-friendly decision.
Terrell chose football. Another good step in Hall of Fame sense, albeit a more painful path.
