Yeah if he were a switch hitter he would be Mickey Mantle reincarnated srsly Trout doesn't seem to be about the money I think it would take a lot to get him to leave Anaheim. But not money. He would leave because of something else.
Yet some superstars toil for their mediocre teams for their entire careers. Larry Fitzgerald is one of those guys. It's called loyalty, something most people have a difficult grasp of these days.
Yeah nothing wrong with that either, I respects guys who stick it out with their team for an entire career. They can win in Anaheim, no reason why they can't. Last time they won the World Series was 2002, which doesn't seem that long ago really.
He would leave because he is a Philly boy. You see him at Eagles games and he hasn't taken the extensions the Angels have offered. I think he is out after next year.
Not at all. Tickets sales are through the roof since his signing. Add the parking, $10 for a hotdog, $12 for a beer for 70K people for 81 games plus playoffs for 13 years...it adds up, its the market.
Yeah 45 mins from Philly. Read a piece in SI about how he grew up playing ball in Philly and is a huge Philly sports fan.
Didn't know he was a homeboy, that's a game changer. Maybe he will reconsider since they fired Scioscia lol
Yeah he's a stud... Saw his 30 for 30 (or maybe it was an E60) recently. Seems like a good kid who's easy to root for. What's crazy is that he's the same age as Judge. By the time Judge may it to the full time roster in 2017 Trout had 2 MVPs and 3 runner ups.
IF the Phillies get Trout with Harper and the Yanks have Stanton and Judge, which outfield you like better?
Yeesh that's a tough one. That's like trying to choose between Kate Upton and Scarlett Johansson as your pork sword slave
That's a tough call... I feel like Stanton and Harper are a wash. Both are streaky. And I'd take Trout over Judge, so I guess Philly would get my vote. Trout and Judge would be the shiz
Our society certainly places a very high value on entertainment, of which spectator sports is a part.
