[Chuck]

Where does Mike Trout's MVP 2014 season land on our top-50 greatest moments list?

You looking for our honest opinions or to guess where it is on the list that you already have?

I have no placement yet. Asking! 

[Mark68]

Low 20s

 

I think his ROY ranks a bit higher. Also because his MVP year was not as good as the two years he was runner-up.

[floplag]

i think from a franchise perspective you have to look at team achievements first, then players.. including firsts.
Trout is the best player in the game today, but obviously team division, league, and WS championships would be first.. i might put Baylors MVP and Salmons ROY ahead of Trouts just for historical relevance. 
I guess with all that i would put in in the top 10, but not the top 5. 
Thats not taking anything away from Trout at all, but i still care more about the name of the front than the back even if he is the best in the game.

[TroutBaseball]

I agree that his Rookie year ranks higher than his MVP year.  I wouldn't put Bartolo Colon's Cy Young all that high (for comparison)

[Don]

1. WS win.

2. Game 6 in '02.

3. Taking down the Yanks in '02.

4. AK's 3HR game against the Twins.

5. Baylor's MVP.

6. Vlad's MVP.

7. 2012: The Troutenning.

8. Trout's MVP

[beatlesrule]

Mike Trout is a god.  Mike Trout is a role model.

[Docwaukee]

20th.  Ahead of Ryan's first no-no

 

Or you could do a combo and call it "Trout's historical early years: From draft to MVP"

 

then like 8th or 9th.

1. First World Series 2002

2. First American League Pennant 2002

3. First Division Title 1979

 

After the first 3, I would think individual accomplishments:

In no particular order.

 

Alex Johnson (First batting title) 1970

MVP  Baylor (79), Guerrero (04), Trout (14)

ROY  Salmon (93), Trout (12)

 

Go Halos!!

I enjoy watching the path to a MVP-like season more than the award itself.  Same with a Cy Young award and Hall of Fame inductees.

2009 ALDS. Finally handing it to the Chowds was so rewarding. Seeing Papelbon's face in the dugout, and Vlad coming through. The Angels home crowd was deafening that series. It was over 20 years of frustrations being taken out on that franchise in one series.

I'd put Trout's MVP ahead of either of the other MVP because he's a home grown player, but that's just my opinion.

[fan_since79]

Right above our 98 wins.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Ryan's no hitters are ranking low because it appears most of this fan base is younger.

In my opinion Ryan was bigger in life and in baseball than Trout, but Trout is current.

383 k's is amazing. The four no hitters including two in the same season, are incredible.

But this is like comparing Jurrasic Park with Gone with the Wind I guess.

[Hollyw00d]

I think trout's cycle should rank pretty high too

[Sully151]

I would put "the Catch" he made in Baltimore ahead of his MVP season. There are two MVP's every year, but that catch put Trout in the headlines and on the National radar.

[Hollyw00d]

That catch is my desktop background....and my phone lockscreen

[ten ocho recon scout]

As much as i like the catch, cycle etc, if those rank up with top 50 moments in this teams history, thats pretty sad. Id say his mvp probably want any more special than vlad or baylor (though good point wpever mentioned he was home grown), but maybe if you tie in the season as a whole...that he was also the all star game mvp, and led the league in runs and rbi..which is very rare (especially for a guy batting 2cd)

And though ROY is cool, i think just his 2012 in general is bigger. Not just how good he was, but the buzz he created around baseball

[Tank]

Maybe it's just me, but an accomplishment based on an entire seasons worth of work doesn't seem like a "moment." I wouldn't rank it very high at all.

Somewhere between the 2002 WS Championship, and the Vernon Wells trade

to the Yankees.

Still below his 2012 and 2013 moments.

[Puget Sound Angel]

I would put all the team accomplishments listed above before an individual performance. That said, I would rank it below Nolan Ryan's 4th no-hitter.
