"Trout plays the game the right way" "Trout is the goat" - MLB Twitter applauds Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout gifting a young kid with a signed bat in exchange for the home run ball

Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout was playing against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field when he broke an Angels record. He hit a home run in his seventh game in a row, and the ball went into the Progressive Field stands. An eleven-year-old kid caught the ball in the stands, and in exchange for the ball, he got to meet Trout and get an autographed bat.MLB@MLBTalk about a great present!Yesterday on his 11th birthday, this young Guardians fan ended up with Mike Trout's home run ball, and he traded it for a meeting with Trout and one of his bats after the game.1522138Talk about a great present!Yesterday on his 11th birthday, this young Guardians fan ended up with Mike Trout's home run ball, and he traded it for a meeting with Trout and one of his bats after the game. https://t.co/6KFLWHQsejIt is unusual for a Major League Baseball club to request a home run ball to be returned. Since this home run broke the record, however, it is likely that either the Angels wanted it for their stadium, or Trout wanted it for himself. It is never mandatory to give the ball back, but it is highly recommended and the compensated reward is worth more than the ball itself.Dave Earle@DaveEarle@MLB Did Trout sign that bat?
