Celebrity Letter!

For math, back in October... I think...We had to write to a celebrity and ask them how they used math in their everyday life. I of course, wrote to Joe Mauer! Monday at school, I got a letter back from him! My teacher told us that students have been writing to him for three years now and this is the first he's written back! 

He said HE doesn't really use math (figures!) but his bench coach could tell him the batting average of the players and how it changes as the batter goes deeper and deeper into the count!

This letter and picture is now next to my baseball! We look forward to going to Twins games this summer! Bummed out that he hasn't participated in any games or practices this pre-season (had a surgery before Christmas on his kidney) :(
