Best Mike Trout Moments

Today is Mike Trout's 24th birthday. Therefore, in honor of his awesomeness, I have compiled some of my favorite Mike Trout Moments. Enjoy!


We will start off with the basics. Mike Trout doing what Mike Trout does (a.k.a. stealing home runs)
Nevermind the fact that he jumps halfway over the wall.

Mike Trout is praised a lot for his bat or his ability to steal home runs, but let's not forget about his ability to throw a ball all the way across the field in a perfect strike and nail the runner. observe:

Observe again:

Mike Trout has been an Allstar 4 times. If you combine all of his 1st at bats in those four years Mike Trout has hit the cycle. 2012: single, 2013: double, 2014: triple, 2015: home run. What's next?

Of course we can't forget about Mike Trout's base running skills. Mike Trout has been clocked at running 22.5 mph while tagging up on a fly ball. And here is his infamous steal:

Then there was the time that Mike Trout hit a Grand Slam straight into the "Trout Net" as though it were easy... (Trout went 4-4 in this game with 2 HR and a BB)

And sometimes he entertains us by catching the ball without even looking

And last but not least, we can't forget the time when Fernando Rodney prematurely celebrated his victory by shooting his trademark arrow at the Angels dugout. How could he think that the game was as good as over when he still had to face Mike Trout and Albert Pujols? Silly Rodney... You can put a halo on this one.

Happy Birthday Mike!

Venting

I am so sick of hearing about Bruce Jenner. Up until now I have not voiced my opinion because I didn't want to shine any more lime light on the matter, but this has gotten ridiculous. You can be happy about what he did, or think that people have the right to morph themselves into whatever they would like to be, but let's at least be honest about it. Bruce Jenner followed the current trend of "equality, be what you want to be" and became more famous for it. Which by the way is something that many people have done before him. Yes, you can say that it was brave because it is a subject that so many people have strong feelings about, but again let's be honest: how many of Bruce Jenner's friends and the crowd that he hangs out with are as far left and liberal as you can legally be? He made a decision that he knew that the majority of the people around him (especially the media) would not only support but also praise him for. Call it what you want but that's not all that brave. And if you don't support his decision, than you are considered an "evil, hateful, bigoted" person. In other words, if you believe that someone who is born male will always be male, even if they like to play dress-up, than you are closed minded and have no heart. I'm tired of it. I just had to get that off my chest. Best of luck Bruce Jenner. Please stay out of my news feed.
