About Us

The Joe Mauer Fan Club began in March 2004. It began with a small website and a Yahoo! sports Group called joemauerfanclub. The Yahoo group allows us to share pictures calendar events, postings, live chat and much more. You can read and post messages without joining but the other features require a valid e-mail address to join. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/joemauerfanclub/

During the 2004 Season the JMFC gained around 40 combined members from online contacts and those I met at the games.

On Saturday May 14th, 2005 Joe signed the Joe Mauer Fan Club member certificate. The certificate is given to all members of the club and must also be signed by the Club President to be valid. By signing the member certificate Joe also gave us recognition and endorsement of the Joe Mauer Fan Club.
Please take a moment to read the Objectives and rules listed below if you are considering joining us. We welcome all ages and support diversity within our club. Club gatherings and events may require minors to be accompanied by an adult. All members are encouraged to attend Twins games and public appearances by Joe Mauer when possible to show support of Joe and the Minnesota Twins.

The Joe Mauer fan club believes in giving back to the community so we donated this couch full of fuzzy bears to the Burnsville Police department for their squad cars.
Occasionally the officers find themselves in situations where a small child might find comfort in a stuffed animal. Each one of the bears proudly wears it's Joe Mauer fan club button!
Happy Holidays from the Joe Mauer fan club!
