"Common Man" and his images of Mauer on Yankees

A little Friday afternoon fun.

Dave MN noticed a couple of photoshopped images on KFAN personality Dan "Common Man" Cole's page, including the one we grabbed and put up now. That, of course, is Joe Mauer (wearing Mike Redmond/Hideki Matsui's number) in Yankee pinstripes.

Says Dave MN:

Have you seen the purported Mauer in pinstripes pictures on Dan Cole's KFAN page? There's one of him "cheering a Yankee home run" and one of him as a Yankee on a poster. Worst photoshopping I've ever seen. However, if you want to stir the pot, you should post them up on Randball. We'll likely see the collective group of non-regulars burn down the comment page.

The beauty of Cole, of course, is that you never know when he's joking, serious, or somewhere in between. His primary objective usually seems to be to tweak his listeners/followers. In that case: well-played, sir.
