Initially, when it was announced that Mike Trout was not voted in as an All-Star starter, it was difficult to cope with the superstar not taking part in his 12th Midsummer Classic. His first ballot Hall of Fame status is all but guaranteed, but it stunk to see that Trout was going back-to-back years of not receiving the honors. However, the Angels' DH spent the break in his hometown of Millville, New Jersey, and re-joined the Angels in Philadelphia a revitalized man (he went 2/5 with an RBI and run scored against the Phillies). Thank goodness for the Javier Báez voters!
