It's not often a BODSHC gives a catcher the Boyfriend of the Day award for his baserunning speed--no matter that Joe Mauer had two doubles on the day, one accounting for the Twins first run of the game. It was in the ninth inning when the Chairman truly earned his stripes--no, not when he gave up the passed ball that eventually resulted in the O's go ahead run, that wasn't so cool--but in the bottom of the inning with another pathetic one-run loss looming over our heads, Mauer came up and drew a walk. A walk! The next batter struck out, but Mauer headed for second on strike three, so shocking catcher Eli Whiteside that he threw the ball into center field. Mauer took third, then when O's closer B.J. Ryan played a little Crazy Pepe's Chug and Toss, Joe scored on a wild pitch, tying the game, saving the day, and giving himself the Boyfriend of the Day.
