Mike Trout is committed to playing baseball in 2020 -- for now.
The Los Angeles Angels' star center fielder, and the undisputed face of his sport, expressed clear trepidation about navigating through a season in the thick of a pandemic that continues to ravage the country, largely because his wife, Jessica, is scheduled to deliver the couple's first child in August.
"Obviously sports is really big for the country right now, but we're risking our families and our lives to go out here and play for everyone," Trout said during a virtual press conference on Friday, the day most teams held their first official workouts for a 60-game season.
