Trout’s love for the game began when he was just five years old and played in his first Little League game.

Trout was offered dozens of scholarships to play college baseball but chose to forgo college and focus on professional baseball.

It was a brave decision, but one that has paid off for the Millville native. Trout has since become one of the most decorated players in Major League Baseball history, and his name is now synonymous with the game. The future Hall of Famer’s passion for the game began in Little League, and he continues to live out his dream every day.
