Here is the second Minnesota-based, athlete-inspired rap video we will bring to you today. It is also the last. It is a birthday rap dedicated to Joe Mauer, who will spend his 28th birthday next Thursday on the disabled list.

Before you watch the video, take a moment to look at Wilson Ramos' numbers, which include a .455 batting average so far this season with the Nationals. Small sample size, blah blah blah. When the guy he was traded for blows a save and the guy he could have temporarily replaced goes on the DL, it's a bad time to remember how well Ramos is doing. If you forgot the Twins also traded Jose Morales this past offseason to the Rockies ... well, here's your reminder.

Enjoy your weekend and this rap video, if possible:
