Bro'mance With Mike Trout

I had the good fortune recently to attend a Cactus League game where the Angels played the Indians.  Mike Trout played CF & hit 2nd in the order in front of Albert Pujols.  I was very impressed witrh every aspects of Trout's game & it's easy to see why he was the AL MVP last year.  On offense he has a quick bat & he is a line drive hitter with power.  The ball jumps off of his bat.  On the bases he has speed, scoring from 1st on a double to left-center with some added hustle during a meaningless spring training game.  In the outfield he went up against the wall to make a catch & he has a cannon for an arm that is also very accurate.  It was a pleasure to watch Mike Trout enjoy playing the game of baseball at such a high level.  He's a throwback to an age where players played for the love of the game.
