 In 2001, before the end of his senior year of high school, Joe Maurer was taken with the first overall pick in the MLB draft. He put on a Twins jersey and cap at a news conference at a school in June of that year. It's kind of weird, you know, we graduated here last week and I look down and see Twins there, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. It was something else, you know, I just saw, I looked at my mom and my dad and, you know, we're all crying there and it's just an unbelievable feeling.
