VIDEO: MLB's New Mike Trout Ad Will Give Baseball Fans Serious Chills
By Brendan Azoff
Major League Baseball released an amazing new advertisement featuring Angels superstar Mike Trout, delving into his past and demonstrating how far he has come. The best part is that Trout himself narrates the video, and stresses that he does not play baseball for the money or the fame, but for the love of the game.

When discussing the best players in baseball, the first name mentioned really must be Trout. He is the prototype for five-tool players in the MLB, and his consistency continues to amaze fans of America's Pastime.
The ad casts Trout in the kind of humble light that befits his career to date, and you're not wrong to get chills seeing Trout with his family, especially when he calls his dad his hero.
Not trying to be over dramatic, but this video gives me a chills every time I watch it. This dude does everything, to a T, the way you’re supposed to do it. Blessed to watch him play this game.

Trout is one of those players who is simply impossible to hate-- even when he beats your team practically singlehandedly. He carries himself with consummate class and respect, and the MLB did a phenomenal job of portraying that in this new ad spot.
