Video: Mike Trout Honors Superfan Gavin Edelson's Request, Hits HR vs. Orioles

Mike Trout is a man of his word.

Ahead of the Los Angeles Angels' game against the Baltimore Orioles Friday night at Camden Yards, seven-year-old Gavin Edelson and his family had tickets for on-field batting practice. Gavin brought a sign with him asking his favorite player to hit a home run for him.

Trout saw the sign and waved Gavin over and, according to ESPN.com's Eddie Matz, told Gavin, "I need to hit a home run tonight." In the top of the third inning, Trout went yard for a two-run home run.
