Flying Fish! Trout doubles as Eagle?
Last week, Mike Trout gave a bunch of players on the Philadelphia Eagles -- the New Jersey native's preferred NFL team -- a pair of his Trout sneakers. It was the kind of gesture that makes one the MVP (most valuable present-giver). But could the Eagles possibly give Trout a gift in return that matched up?
Well, it took a few days, but this certainly seems like it'll do:

That's Eagles quarterback (and Trout's hunting buddy) Carson Wentz giving Trout the ball after his touchdown pass to Zach Ertz that gave Philadelphia the lead over the Cowboys, which they never relinquished.
Between the ball and the victory, I think we can confidently say Trout enjoys his gift quite a bit:
Just a few hours after Trout's afternoon with the Eagles, Lions QB Matthew Stafford sported a Tigers cap in his "Sunday Night Football" pregame interview, so baseball was well-represented throughout Week 17.
