Mike Trout

Mike Trout is, to me, the closest thing modern baseball has to a flawless prototype: a hitter, runner and fielder all operating at elite levels, with three MVPs to prove it. What gives his story a melancholy beauty is the loyalty. He stayed with an Angels team that rarely gave him October baseball, doing his job without drama or self-promotion. Injuries have chipped at the late chapters, yet the workmanlike dedication never wavered. Rings or not, I'd put him among the greatest to ever play. Sometimes the most extraordinary talent quietly carries the heaviest burden of bad timing.
