Who knows what marvels may span the course of a week?

For our resident artiste adopté, Joe Mauer, the past week was filled with marvels of a most extraordinary nature. Yesterday, it was announced that Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer was being named the American League Player of the Week presented by Bank of America for the period ending Sunday, May 24.

In seven games last week, Joe Mauer went 11-24 (a .458 batting average) with two doubles, four home runs, 25 total bases, 12 runs scored, and 13 RBI . Joe was overall, as of Tuesday, batting .444, and had 11 HR, 31 RBI, a 1.042 slugging percentage, and a .516 on-base percentage. In particular, on May 21, Mauer went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a grand slam, accumulating a career-high six RBI, and leading the Twins to a 20-1 victory over the A.L. Central rival Chicago White Sox.

Today also marks the beginning of the last week before the “Stuck in Right Field” event that takes place at the Metrodome on June 3. And considering Joe Mauer’s marvellous past week, we may well all know no end of marvellous glory as we count down the days until we meet in the fabulous Nose Bleeds, tossing down abuse on the visiting rivals, lavishing praise on our own hometown boys, and stuffing our hotdog-holes with all the Hormel dollar dogs we can lay hands on.

Here are “Stuck in Right Field” event details:

What: We will meet up to watch your Minnesota Twins take on those hard striving, underachieving kids from Cleveland (boo!) at the Metrodome.

When: Wednesday, June 3. Gametime, 7:10 pm.

How: Artsy sorts are asked meet up at the main Twins Ticket Office — near Gate G — no later than 6:20 pm. (!!!!!) (Be there on time, or miss your chance to sit with the gang!) Look for a slightly pudgy guy in a blue home  Twins jersey and black beret (that’ll be Mr. Art Happy Hour, Michael Fallon).

Everyone will pitch in to buy general admission tickets for themselves (for cheap! — only $8), and it will be Marvellous.

Note: Facebookers can sign up for this event (and get more details), here.
