Greetings from the Mauer Baseball Blog

Hello everyone.  This is the first time that I've ever posted to a blog, but I wanted to try to see if I can do a better job keeping everyone informed about what's gong on with the '07 season.  As you know, the season is LOOOOOONG, and I am on the road traveling a lot, but I will do my best to try and post as often as I can. 

Also, my goal with this blog is to provide baseball tips to young players out there that love the game of baseball the way that I do....So, I've asked my family members to take an active role in this blog too.  You may be getting some posts from my Dad (Jake II), my brothers Jake III, and Billy, my cousin Jimbo (President of Quickswing) and even my Mom (Teresa).  All of these guys are very knowledgeable about the game of baseball and can give a lot of insight as to what's going on.

I hope everyone has fun with this blog this season and I look forward to hearing everyone's comments.  Oh yeah, for everyone out there who cares....my leg is fine.  The doctors diagnosed a "stress reaction" in my lower leg and want me to rest it so that it doesn't get worse.  I should be ready to play in about 4-5 days.

Thanks,  Joe #7
