The Story: Albert Pujols will enter the Home Run Derby, but Mike Trout is leaning towards not participating.
The Monkey Says: Pujols being in the field probably makes it easier for Trout to take a pass since there is already an Angel involved and because Trout wouldn’t want to avoid stealing Albert’s thunder since this will be the last time Pujols participates. Everyone wins!
The Story: Tim Salmon, Dean Chance and Mike Witt will be inducted into the Angels Hall of Fame on August 22nd.
The Monkey Says: Congrats to all of them, they deserve it.
