Man of Mystery

"Morneau and some of his teammates spent some time recently trying to figure out how Mauer spends his days. Now that Morneau is married and Mauer has more demands on his time than ever, the two don't socialize as much as they once did, but they often travel to the ballpark together on the road.
"And we're usually the last two in here at the end of the night,'' Morneau said. "We'll talk about pitchers, just all those things we always do.
"He's someone who never leaves the hotel or never really leaves his house. If I can get him out, then it's all pretty much the same as it always was.''
No one has solved the mystery of how Mauer kills a day on the road.
"We were trying to figure it out the other day,'' Morneau said. "He can sleep a lot, I know that. I don't know if he's watching movies, reading books, I couldn't tell you.''"
