    this could be a great thing for ms patients.

    mauer could generate millions to help research cures/treatments.

    Live in Minny and first I have heard of it in fact he is in the minors catching on rehab and should return soon

    News Story

    Mauer catches and saids it felt good

    http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-twins-mauer


    June 2, 2011
    FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP)—Joe Mauer(notes) is back to crouching behind the plate, a bit tired but still committed to being a catcher.

    The rehabilitating Minnesota Twins star caught three innings Thursday in an extended spring training game, his first action on defense since he was sent to the 15-day disabled list nearly two months ago with weakness and soreness in his legs.

    Mauer went 0 for 5 at the plate, with two flyouts to left field and three groundouts to the right side of the infield against a group of Tampa Bay Rays minor leaguers on a 94-degree afternoon. As he stood in the shade after the game, he said he was out of breath and “a little fatigued” but otherwise feeling fine.

    I know someone near and dear that is young with MS. The younger you show symptoms of MS the better it can be. They take a shot every day to hinder further damage but other than that, they lead a healthy normal life.

    My Sister has MS. Deuce, there are probably over 500 different ways to treat MS. Some people only take a shot once a month or week. Some people do great by just going on a very strict diet. Others do well doing the holistic route.

    Rumors are like buttholes...everyone's got one. They said Chase Utley was finished and he's starting at 2nd right now. If bullshitting was against the law there would be many on this board that would be doing time
