How Mike Trout stacks up to MLB's greats as he closes in on 1,000 games

It seems like yesterday that Mike Trout was called up to the majors in 2011, still a teenager. It seems like yesterday when he had a rookie season for the ages in 2012 and we had that bare-knuckle MVP debate between Trout and Miguel Cabrera. Trout is having his best season yet, leading the majors in home runs (23), runs (60), walks (60), OBP (.459), OPS (1.147) and WAR (6.3). Somehow, he's also closing in on 1,000 career games. As he reaches this milestone (will be Thursday if he doesn't miss any games), let's compare some of his numbers to how some other famous ballplayers did through 1,000 games.
