Stupid Photo Essay: Trout’s Three-Run Jimmy-Jack

by
August 31, 2011

In the great tradition of that one weird girl from your high-school newspaper, NotGraphs once again presents a Stupid Photo Essay. Never hard to read, because it barely has words: that’s the Stupid Photo Essay way.

In this edition of Stupid Photo Essay, we present Mike Trout’s three-run jimmy-jack against Anthony Vasquez (video) from Tuesday night.

Let’s see what our photo essay reveals!

1. Mike Trout jimmy-jacks Vasquez’s 63 mph curveball.

2. Apropos of seemingly nothing, Trout begins grinning as he rounds second.

3. Trout remains begrinned even as he approaches home plate.

4. Trout’s smile proves contagious, infecting the already-pretty-infectable Torii Hunter.

5. Care Bear Stare.

Are “Care Bares” an inappropriate adult version of Care Bears?

I was just trying to rope in the Illiterate Set, but now that you’ve exposed my intentions, I’ve been forced to revert to the actual spelling.

I’ll get you steex!

Don’t let me cramp your style. I thought you had a potentially money making venture on your hands. Or as Sean Connery would say, “You’re sitting on a gold mine, Trebek!”

Regarding the “Illiterate Set”, here’s your unofficial Fangraphs word of the day: illiterati.

I was going to offer it as a joke, but it is an actual word. Who knew?!

Have a great day guys.

I like that word. It sound smart enough that it would confuse actual illiterati into thinking you were complimenting them… but you know better.
