Before yesterday, there were more than a handful of players who had won more MVP awards than Mike Trout. Waking up this morning, only one player in the history of Major League Baseball has more MVP awards than Trout.
Barry Bonds won seven in his career. No matter how you feel about the person, Bonds had arguably the best statistical career ever, and that is shown by his (assuredly large) trophy case.
Now, following his third MVP award, Mike a Trout is, without a doubt, a living Hall of Fame player.
Before this season, Trout’s career was that on a Hall of Fame trajectory.
