However, waking up Tuesday morning to the news that the Angels and Trout had agreed to a record-deal made my heart leap for joy (it also almost made me run off the road). Knowing that the Angels were going to have Mike Trout for the rest of his career put a smile on my face that still hasn’t worn off today, 24 hours later.
Some critics may say its a mistake to give one player, even Mike Trout, the consensus best player in baseball a contract that is worth close to half a billion dollars. This is where I would tell any critics that they are dead wrong.
