Trout This Season
Trout is in the middle of his 16th MLB season (all with the Angels).
The future Hall of Famer is currently batting .239 with 21 hits, eight home runs, 17 RBI’s, 25 runs and four stolen bases in 25 games.
Darren Rovell of cllct wrote: “This is going to be a fascinating bet to watch. Trout’s bet is that high net worth golfers will get on a private jet and fly anywhere to play — even to Vineland, NJ (45 mins from Philly, 2 hours from NY).”
Despite turning 35 later this season (and having an injury history), Trout is still one of the best players in baseball when he is in the lineup.
He is a three-time MVP and 11-Time MLB All-Star.
