Joe Mauer is a born and raised Minnesota kid who is the face of the Twins franchise, so, naturally, when it came time for him to become a father, it was only right that he impregnated his wife Maddie with not one, but two children simultaneously.

We have confirmed that Joe Mauer and his wife, Maddie, are expecting twins.This is not a joke. Congrats on the double baby bundle.

I think this is how black holes are formed. The star player on the Minnesota Twins fathering twins? I mean, I get that Mauer was put on this Earth for the sole purpose of wearing a Twins uniform, but fathering twins as well? This went from a neat, heartwarming story to kinda weird in a hurry.

(Congrats to the Mauers.)
