Mantle's son has high praise for Trout

"It's been almost 50 years since my dad played his last game, and yet every time a kid with a combo of speed and power comes along, they say, 'This could be the next Mickey Mantle,' " David Mantle said in a segment for MLB Network.

"I'm a baseball fan. When I want to see someone playing like Mickey Mantle, I can pull out the home movies. Or I can just watch this kid with the Angels, Mike Trout. Like dad, he's got all the tools. He can run. He can field. And he can hit. Boy, can he hit.
