Trout brings back home run with amazing leap

Found June 27, 2012 on The Outside Corner: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Mike Trout,  JJ Hardy
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels,  Baltimore Orioles

From The Outside Corner:

You've probably heard the tales about Angels outfielder Mike Trout ... but the catch he made in the first inning of Wednesday's Angels-Orioles game was unreal.

J.J. Hardy hit a bomb to right center, and Trout closed fast before leaping high into the air to snag the ball from being a homer. The slow-motion replay at the end of the video shows just how incredible the catch is, with Trout extending his glove over the fence and somehow coming down with the ball.

Man, it's fun to watch this guy play every day.

Offense rolls as Haren continues struggles

Via Fox Sports West  |  June 29, 2012
The only thing that saved Dave Haren from a loss Thursday night in Toronto was the Angels' offense. If not for Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo, Albert Pujols and everyone else who contributed in an 9-7 win over the Blue Jays, Haren would be sitting on his eighth loss of the season. He won only because the Angels kept pounding out hits to put him in front. Every time he gave up a lead...
