Mike Trout took to Instagram to post a short video of himself and his son, Beckham Aaron Trout, playing baseball at home. In the clip, Mike takes a low batting stance with a mini-baseball bat while his son pitched. After Mike hit the ball, he flipped the ball on his son. OMG! It was hilarious. Besides, Mike's pet dog was also present in the video and waited for the All-Star to hit the ball so that he could grab the ball and chew it. The adorable video on Instagram garnered over 100,000 likes.
