Oh Oh Mike Trout

Last week I blew the lid off of any bullshit "Mike Trout's as good as Mickey Mantle" bullshit (Trout's not even on pace to have fewer strikeouts than Mickey, who along with Reggie Jackson were the OGs of the "sluggers who strike out a fuck-ton" genre), but now today I'm legit worried for Trout for a different reason in comparison to The Mick:

“My biggest regret was letting my lifetime average drop below .300. I always felt I was a .300 hitter, and if I could change one thing that would be it.”

Aaaaaaaaaaand looky here at Trout after 14 years:

😬

"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn't you rather brilliantly point out the exact same thing about Albert Pujols over a dozen years ago?"

Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I did.
