[@steveross6294]

i hope you've been watching him during his career past and future ... i'm almost 70 and i've never seen anyone so consistently great ... a modern day mickey mantle, with a touch of joe hardy

[@rpsnider85]

As a huge fan of The Mick, I still believe wholeheartedly that Trout is the best to ever do it. Mantle is the only player that is even close and that's just astonishing

[@nizloc4118]

I know Mantle is the legend, but I think Mays is the gold standard personally, and I hope thats who trout catches someday

[@sebendebi23]

I came here coz of the 430 millon dollar contract of this man

[@petezm]

Me too

[@Rylopero]

30 million a year to keep the best baseball player the world has ever seen? On the crest of the big tv contract the Angels just signed, it seems worth it

[@lucass8317]

Mike trout the goat

[@mariairmachavezparra9840]

sebendebi 23 don’t forget Albert Pujols, awesome slugger

[@turta1588]

If I born and live in Europe and I watch baseball, that's because of Mike Trout. Thanks for making me know and enjoy this game.

[@joelorosario2300]

You know you’re the best when you’re constantly on the mvp talk every year.

[@nizloc4118]

Not to mention of it was NBA style, with only one guy per league, hed still be it

[@greyk610]

Like Mookoe Betts

[@benjiyeager27]

Everyone is talkin smack about the angels and how trout won't win with them. But with our new manager Brad Ausmus and Doug White as our new pitching coach,I think things are gonna change and we should do way better this season.

[@Kreamations]

yeager 27 lol

[@handheldnintendofan]

I'm a tigers fan Brad is an atrocious manager 😂

[@TheAmpharosFreak]

Mike Scioscia wasnt the problem, arte is the problem

[@ZhangtheGreat]

Mike Trout can retire right now and he'd be a first ballot HoFer, no questions asked.

[@ducky6520]

ZhangtheGreat I disagree. While his career stats are great (for a 27 year old.), he still is lacking a bit in all time home runs and RBIs. This is coming from an Angels fan if you’re wondering.

[@ortonjasone]

Ducky Mays but he already has 72 WAR, which is ahead of hall of famers

[@Aih1616]

Whatever. He won’t retire anyways.

[@ian-wi8xl]

Ducky Mays he’s also finished runner up in mvp 4 times along with winning it 3. For only being 28. That’s HoF no question. That’s Barry bonds like numbers

[@lukemccrory]

Good Lord his swing is so sweet

[@pdgutierrez8784]

What a great ball player. I hope he stays healthy. He does things so easily, makes the game look simple. hope Angels can win a championship with mike trout.

[@nickregalado8641]

pretty sweet to watch him every night on the local channel while the rest of the country is dreaming stanton doesn't go 0 for 5.

[@nolansimard27]

Right? People may knock being an Angel's fan but Mike Trout makes it the best thing in the world

[@rpsnider85]

Been a huge fan of baseball all my life, have gone deep into the history of the game... That being said, as a student of this amazing game. Mike Trout is by far the best player I've ever seen or heard of or read about. The only player that is even in that ultra rare category other than himself is The Mick (Mantle). But Trout is the better player. When you are already the best to ever play the game and you're only 26 you've put yourself into a category that transcends the "once in a generation and lifetime" lists. No player is more consistent, skilled/talented, and works harder than Mike Trout. Here's hoping that the Orioles can get supremely lucky with our prospects for the next two seasons and offer Trout 500 million over 15 years to play here. When you look at what he does on and off the field, this man is an absolute beast of a human being. I would love to be able to take my son to almost every game and let him grow up watching the best player ever. Truly one of the rare sports professionals that is worthy of being a role model to young kids.

[@rpsnider85]

And yes the years are set to 15. This guy, if he stays healthy, will still be one of/if not the best player in the league in his 40's. I personally want Trout to play until he's 50 and to break every (positive)record in the game... though I doubt anyone will ever break the Iron Man's record, it just isn't done like that anymore, which is smart and sad at the same time.

[@randalldenison4628]

Been watching MLB since 1970. Trout is best player I've ever seen.

[@cdmdjd2009]

How does he compare to Griffey? Just asking because I didn't watch baseball when he played.

[@matthewbalison9514]

Trout wins MVP if he didn't miss 3 weeks of the season, for sure

[@cdmdjd2009]

He played more games than Mookie this season so its a possibility.

[@matthewbalison9514]

Mookie will definitely win it, but Trout had a good chance if he played the full season

[@cdmdjd2009]

Matthew Balison Trout played more games than Mookie so games played wont be a factor.

[@cdmdjd2009]

Y Marina It’s not trouts fault that his team is trash. Team success should have nothing to do with MVP voting. Overall I think Betts will win by a few votes

[@matthewbalison9514]

@@cdmdjd2009 I understand. I'm not trying to compare their games played, I'm talking about Trout specifically, not compared to Mookie

[@LunchBoxHero29]

I'm just saying, could you imagine how insane trouts numbers would be if he was in a lineup like the Red Sox? His lineup is ass and he still puts up a 10+ war season while missing 3 weeks, dude is unreal

[@jasondell6535]

And got to play in that hitters park.

[@nizloc4118]

Yep. Trout plays in a pitchers park, with mostly pitchers parks in his division, no one one base when he bats, little lineup protection... and is still a god among men. Im not sure anyone has been this good in decades. At least in terms of when you break it down like i just did. Put him in a better lineup and who knows what he would do.

[@TheAmpharosFreak]

[@domonicdecoco2410]

Comwan He has like a .090 postseason average. So when he got his chance, he didn’t show up.

[@e.k.6264]

Every player in any sport should aspire to be like MIKE TROUT, the guy hustles every play, every at bat, every time he is in the game, never seen him disrespect anyone in any way, self deprecating and just seems to be a Great Guy and teammate, I wish I could play on his team.

[@FiddlePig]

Sadly, Trout's 39HRs, .312 B.A. league leading .460 OBP and 1.088 OPS... produced only 79 RBI. As the Angels finished 80-82 far out of the pennant race. A sad testimony to the lack of a supporting cast... of his LAA teammates.

[@binarystar25]

God it hurts.

[@tylertosian7659]

I’ll never forget going to Angels stadium watching him his rookie year!!

[@MrCasi24]

The standings are so empty... How is that possible?

[@TheBatugan77]

Your head is tiny. How do you walk on hind legs?

[@bigsmokiee55]

What makes him great is that there’s kids idolizing him and working to be just like him. Hopefully he inspires a fleet of 5 tool players to baseball. There’s only 1 trout tho. What a treat to see him play

[@huetuber1204]

The organization owes him a trip to the World Series to reward his dedication.

Sucks that he got injured. He was on pace for another MVP year.

[@jakester5272]

We are watching one of the greatest ever.

[@jamenabar88]

Been an angels fans for awhile and as much as I want trout to stay an angel...if the angels don't do any big moves and do well the next 2 years postseason wise...trade him to a team that will help him get there. He's done a lot for this team and he deserves better and I will always be a fan of him.

Boohoo.. ..here let me correct that for you @MLB, "Mike Trout has another WASTED season in 2018" . He ain't the best player ever in the game. Most overrated and overhyped player in the history of the game. Give me Griffey Jr or Guerrero in their prime vs Trout all day everyday. Yall act like WAR is the only stat that determines who's the best...thats like saying homeruns are the only thing that determine whether a player is the best....it's not. He trails in so many categories, yet people already proclaim him as the best? Please, give me a fucking break.
