South Jersey native and "Millville Meteor" Mike Trout's Philadelphia fandom is well documented. The baseball phenom and Angels outfielder grew up rooting for the Eagles (and Phillies), and that fandom has spilled into his adult life. When Chip Kelly was rumored to be after Marcus Mariota in the last NFL Draft, Trout was furiously texting Adam Schefter hoping for an inside scoop, just like the rest of his fellow fans would be doing if they had the resources of a famous athlete.
Hope that Trout winds up in a Phillies uniform some day is still alive, and when he visited Philadelphia for the first time as a major league player, it was well covered.
