Thanks @nate for sharing that.  Awesome read.

Great article!

Kinsler on Trout: “He’s not flipping his hair...” Wonder who he’s referring to?

Sho-Time knowing “weak sauce.” Fun stuff.

I just never, ever get tired of reading about Trout. The more I learn, the more I appreciate him.  So blessed to get to watch him play every day for my favorite team.

However... this caught my eye...

"Other than Cal Ripken, I've never seen anybody that good at understanding how much you can make someone's day or life if you just take a moment to go over and say hi," Gubicza said. "It's not like he just signs for the kid, the dad, the mom or daughter and doesn't even look at them. He makes eye contact and makes people feel as if they're friends.

Torii Hunter did this all the time.  Every single time I saw Torii Hunter interacting with fans, I walked away with a smile on my face.  Torii was the greatest and I'm sure he taught Mike Trout this as well.  And Torii learned it from Kirby Puckett...

If you get your regular baseball (or any sport) coverage from ESPN, you probably voted for Trump and believe in chemtrails and reptilian overlords.

Mr. Crasnick is just killing this guy. Serious new respect for him.

Trout as a rookie in Tempe talked to my kids for a few minutes. My youngest who may have barely been 5 asked what he was chewing (gum). He went back to the clubhouse and came out with some for both of them.

Fitting that his name is Matt Vent.

Mike Trout should have his picture next to the word "Greatness" in the dictionary.
