Rock legend Elton John, a big baseball fan, requested autographed pictures of the Twins' Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, and in exchange provided autographed pictures of himself. John told Mauer he's the best catcher in the major leagues and said he wished Morneau played for the Atlanta Braves, of whom John is a big fan.

Nothing wrong with Elton John, but my guess is Mauer was hoping the mancrush would have been someone like Clapton, or maybe Angus Young.

Easy, Mark. Breathe...
I think the point is that Mauer is a 26 year old stud and Sir Elton, British faux-royalty that he is, is like 66 years old. If you're going to have another fella hitting on you, could it at least be someone for which the vision of nudity doesn't induce projectile vomiting? Someone within 20-30 years of yourself would be nice.

John told Maurer he was the best catcher? I always figured that was Elton John's favorite position.

Will Elton be requesting the "catching position" when he and Mauer do their "romp". Also I guess those hand signals Mauer was giving had a double meaning. One last thing - now that I think about it Mauer is pretty cute !!!

The only issue I have with this comment is that MarkCharles refers to baseball as a manly sport!
