MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins will place a bronze statue of retired catcher Joe Mauer outside Target Field. Mauer's statue will be the eighth at the ballpark, all designed by Minnesota-based artist Bill Mack. The new statue will be unveiled at some point next season. The announcement was made during a pregame ceremony honoring Mauer's induction last month into baseball's Hall of Fame. He was joined on the field by fellow St. Paul natives and Hall of Famers Jack Morris and Paul Molitor. Molitor made the announcement of the statue.
