00:00He called Mike Trout the GOAT, and honestly, I have the chills listening to that,
00:05because I have made the same case. I think that the injuries have sadly derailed the GOAT
00:11conversation, but I want you to really appreciate who Mike Trout is and what he's done. These are
00:18the first eight years of Mike Trout's career. Second, second, won the MVP, second for MVP,
00:29won the MVP, fourth for MVP, second, and won it. Look at the home run totals. He is a 30
00:37home run guy.
00:38Look at the stolen base totals. He is a guy who stole double-digit bases from 11 to 49 during
00:47the
00:47stretch. Look at the ridiculous batting average. Look at war. What is it good for? I'll tell you
00:54what it's good for. For proving that Mike Trout had the greatest start to a baseball career in the
01:01history of the sport. That is what war is good for. Obviously, you have the injuries. Obviously,
01:08wasted away by Artie Moreno and letting Otani go and everything that we describe, and he never
01:14played in the postseason, had a couple of cups of coffee, never had that signature moment. He only
01:19has a couple of playoff hits. There is still a great case for someone like Trout as a Mount Rushmore
01:27player if we're talking about position players. Thank you, Aaron Judge. Thank you for saying what
01:34I have felt for my entire life watching Mike Trout.
