Earlier this week – as many fans know- Mike Trout signed a record 12 year, $430 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Angels. This makes Trout not only the largest paid athlete in baseball history but in all of the North American sports. While the Angels have only made the playoffs once since Trout’s debut in 2011, nobody is going to argue against Trout’s individual success.
However, in the wake of such eye-opening news, comparisons with former players are being made. One of those former players is a guy White Sox fans know well…Frank Thomas!
