The fine folk at Pitchers & Poets are playing the name game and have fired up the Rogue's Baseball Index, "an alternative baseball lexicon." Their sample entry should give you an idea of what they're going for:
The Joe MauerWe are fortunate as mere mortals that The Joe Mauer has graced this plane of existence with his glowing presence. His swing is flawless, his morals are sound, and his bone structure is immaculate. He dates beauty queens, he wins batting titles. The Joe Mauer is ideal. The Joe Mauer is America.
Notable Joe Mauers include:
- Joe Mauer
- Joe Dimaggio
And guess who they tapped for their home opener?

I believe that should read "The Derek Jeter", not "The Joe Mauer".
I guarantee more than half of the BBWAA doesn't know who Joe Mauer is.
Who's Joe Mauer?
I had some MSBs when I was in the Pacific northwest a couple of months ago. I got them based purely on the recommendations given here and chose JITB over other suitable roadside fastfooderies. They were decent. David Eckstein, not so much.
I limit JITB food purchases to their milkshakes. They bring me to the yard.
My milkshake tastes better than yours, RB!
That's some freaky-ass avatar action between FB and EricNus...it's like FB looking up at EricNus who is similarly looking up.
But does JITB have Guinness milkshakes?
@KempKershaw
I think the Derek Jeter archetype is distinct from the Joe Mauer in it lacks the clean-shaven ethical subtext.
The Joe Mauer is a candidate for celebrity judge at the state fair. The Derek Jeter is a candidate for celebrity judge at the Playboy Mansion.
Congrats on being Rogue Baseball Index Guest Poster #1, Orel!
Yippee Ki Yay! MSB!
DB,
Damn right, it's better than yahrs.
If JITB had Guinness Shakes, I'd have a reason to order the MSB's.
BTW, "Fuck me in the armpit" has officially gone into my lexicon.
Congrats, Orel! that's very cool
"His swing is flawless, his morals are sound, and his bone structure is immaculate. "
We need photographic evidence his bone structure is immaculate. More Joe Mauer visual presence in media makes the world more beautiful. Just sayin'
I drink your milkshake!
"and his bone structure is immaculate"
That should read "and his sideburns are immaculate."
