Salmon spent 14 years with the Angels in his career, amassing 299 career home runs and 1,016 RBIs. Shockingly, he never made an All-Star Game, but he did have five seasons of 30 home runs or more. He also drove in 129 runs during the 1997 season and received MVP votes in three different campaigns. He also won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1993. He helped the Angels win their lone World Series in 2002.

Trout is hitting .241 this season with 17 home runs and 44 RBIs. He's carrying a .363 on-base percentage. One of the best players in baseball history, Trout is a three-time MVP, an 11-time All-Star, a nine-time Silver Slugger and a Rookie of the Year winner. He is two RBIs short of 1,000 for his career.

The Angels will take on the New York Mets on Monday night at Citi Field. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. ET.
