‘Mauer shake?’ No, please.

The best way to get a video to “go viral” is not to try so hard. Or be truly horrible.


FoxSports North says this video, from some Twins fans in Duluth, is sweeping the Internet and “catching the attention of Twins fans everywhere.” They’re trying to create a dance for Joe Mauer’s birthday.

No. Just…. no.

“The ‘Mauer shake’ is catching on throughout the state,” the FoxSports story says.

Mauer’s birthday is today. The best way to celebrate it is in silence and quiet contemplation. Please.
