GIF: Mike Trout Robs Mike Trout of a Home Run
This comes courtesy of a comment from a previous Mike-Trout related post:
As I’m never one to ignore the filthy masses/turn down an idea for a post, I present Mike Trout Robbing Mike Trout of a Home Run.
Behold:
Though I’m not quite sure what type of something this is, it is indeed something.
David G. Temple is the Managing Editor of TechGraphs and a contributor to FanGraphs, NotGraphs and The Hardball Times. He hosts the award-eligible podcast Stealing Home. Dayn Perry once called him a "Bible Made of Lasers." Follow him on Twitter @davidgtemple.
Now all that’s left is to have him pitch the ball to himself from CF and we’d have the most complete gif in existence
If anyone could outrun a ball that he threw from CF in time to take a swing at it, it would be Mike Trout.
Or maybe Billy Hamilton. Except Hamilton knows better than to rob himself of a precious HR. Trout can afford to do that and still hit like Mike Trout.
Banknotes Harper ought to be in the bullpen with a contract for Trout to sign with his right hand while catching the ball with the left. Nope, scratch that idea- too much risk of damage to the wall from Banknotes.
Incidentally, our Prime Minister is named Harper and is an economist by trade, but any similarity with Banknotes ends there.
