Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout emerged as a hero after hitting two home runs against the Seattle Mariners in a doubleheader on Saturday. In the third inning, against Seattle Mariners pitcher Tommy Milone, Mike blasted his second home run with finesse. Interestingly, the crowd went silent in delight as they saw Mike hit incredible shots above the bleachers.
After witnessing Mike's greatness, the MLB commentator couldn't help but comment:
"They may have to retire his number out here."
Jimmer Herget, the Los Angeles Angels pitcher and a fellow teammate of Trout, also couldn't stop praising Mike after he homered twice on the same day.
Jimmy said:
"It's incredible -- guys keep pitching to him and it's hilarious. He's the best player on the planet -- or one of the best players on the planet. We have another one [Shohei Ohtani] here, too."
