Mike Trout turned 26 years old today, which is shocking in its own right, considering how much he has already accomplished.
He’s only been in the league for six seasons, and he’s only less than 2 WAR away from passing Vladimir Guerrero in his career total (He likely will this season). Unfortunately for him, the Angels haven’t done much to surround him with other talent, and they have only made the playoffs once. We’re sure all Trout wants for his birthday is to win some games and take over one of the wildcard spots, but instead, his teammates bombarded him with a bunch of different powders and liquids.
From smashing eggs on his head to dumping Icee freezies on him, this seems like the worst birthday present ever.
Of course, Trout still appreciated the gift – enough to post it on his own Instagram. Plus, he clearly saw it coming with the big smile on his face. After all, it was done out of love, because teammates wouldn’t do all of this for just anyone.
Hopefully Trout and the angels get some good luck from this ritual and they get on a roll, giving the phenom another shot at the playoffs.
Then, maybe he’ll be getting something else dumped on him.
