I appreciate pe...Thank you for not reading my blog. I appreciate people who visit my writing, don't read it, then make an unintelligent comment. It makes me laugh. <br /><br />If you had read my blog you'd know I don't think Joe is gay, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility either. You'd know that the idea that Joe might be gay is actually a compliment to how he lives his life. <br /><br />But you didn't read my blog, because in your world reading should be limited to 140 characters at a time, I'm guessing. (Why were you doing a Google search of "Joe Mauer gay" anyway?)<br /><br />So go back to sending text messages to all your Justin Bieber loving friends and enjoy the rest of your summer vacation.Arthur Fonzarellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123536283851861987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031073663738332556.post-66764985783180516172011-06-27T11:27:05.219-07:002011-06-27T11:27:05.219-07:00JOE MAUER ISN'T GAY!!!!

It adds to my conspiracy theory, but it's still circumstantial evidence, at best.<br /><br />I don't, however, buy into the idea that he couldn't possibly be gay based on the alleged experience of a secretary you claim to know. (I have no reason to assume you're making it up, but I won't assume it to be a legit story, either.) <br /><br />I have read claims that Mauer dated somebody's friend from high school years ago, etc., and that doesn't mean much to me. I worked with a man who gave birth to his first child during his tenure with my company. He moved on after the birth of his child. A couple of years later he changes jobs again and runs into one of my coworkers. He tells my coworker that he is now divorced, and gay. <br /><br />That's a common story. Most married men do not divorce their wives and announce they are gay, no doubt. But given that it's a very real possibility, I refuse to accept anecdotes that somebody flirted with a secretary or asked her out on a date as evidence that the guy is 100 percent heterosexual, regardless of how little makeup the woman wears or how conservative she dresses.<br /><br />I like your comparison of Mauer to Garciaparra, that's a very likely scenario. As I'm sure you're aware from reading the columns I wrote on the topic last year, I would bet $10 on the idea he's a private person who doesn't like being a celebrity outside of baseball, lame Kemps commercials aside.<br /><br />But his offseason activites, or lack thereof, leaves the door open to the [sarcasm] unthinkable horror that he might be gay. [/sarcasm]<br /><br />I refuse to dismiss the possibility based upon the allegation that he asked out a slender, naturally pretty secretary. Personally I don't find the story to be plausible. <br /><br />Thanks for your insight.Arthur Fonzarellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123536283851861987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031073663738332556.post-50505090872660202852011-05-07T12:40:17.620-07:002011-05-07T12:40:17.620-07:00Joe Mauer is not gay.

Joe was impressed by my DH's epic knowledge of baseball. Seriously for the amount of time my husband spends on things connected to baseball, he better be an expert. Married for 15 years and he has yet to miss a baseball trivia question on radio or at a game.<br /><br />But I digress.<br /><br />Joe flirted with my secretary and asked her out but she said no b/c she was dating a guy who played in the NFL. He was very respectful to my secretary and did not dog it up with her. When she said no, he said something like "okay - my loss." Very classy. My secretary btw is naturally pretty, wears very little makeup, is slender, and dresses conservatively. <br /><br />But talking about the GAY thing. Do you remember back in 2000, the editor of Out Magazine said that he was in a relationship with an "every day MLB player on an east coast team?" The MLBer was never outted but there was lots of speculation. Red Sox, NYY, Mets, Baltimore, and the Marlins, I guess.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure I know who the guy is but I wouldn't state it here.<br /><br />...I have to say, though, Joe Mauer kind of reminds me of Nomar Garciaparra when he was with the Red Sox. Nice single guy but never seen out with a girl in Boston or on the road. If he was spotted in Boston he was usually with a group of guys and girls and you couldn't really discern who he was with. Nomar was just a private classy guy. I think that Joe is pretty much just like him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
