VIDEO: Little Kid Ripping an Absolute Laser While Wearing Sandals is the Baseball Hero We Need Right Now

I don't know anything about this mythical child other than the information presented in the short video clip, and you know what? That's what makes it so magical. During this depressing time without baseball, about a week after what should've been Opening Day, I'm instead finding solace in this lone five-second clip: a pint-sized Mike Trout, using a way-too-silver bat to absolutely destroy a heater from his dad, who is rocking a stained wife beater, aka the official uniform of quarantine.

And oh yeah: the kid's rocking sandals WITH SOCKS!

He's only 6 months from pops having to build some bigger trees back there -- these pines won't contain any of his blasts moving forward.

And let's all say a prayer for dad, too, and hope he knows how to handle the cascading fame that's about to drip down upon the family.

Let's hope he's a master negotiator. Because while fans likely won't be allowed in MLB stadiums this summer, there's no rule against flocking to a suburban street and sitting in your car while watching a kid mash.

Traffic could get dicey.
