No one is surprised that Mike Trout made the All Star Game. Again. Here are some other facts:
- He is only the 6th player in history to reach the All Star Game 7th times by age 26. He joins the ranks of Mickey Mantle, Al Kaline, Johnny Bench, Ken Griffey Jr., and Ivan Rodriguez. Those guys all had some pretty decent careers I hear.
Thankfully we get to see Trout actually play this year since he sat out in 2017 due to injury. He’s had a pretty good run so far playing in the Midsummer Classic against the best of the best.
