Is naming a high school field after a kid that just played there four years ago crazy? The answer is yes, if we were talking about anybody but Mike Trout. After graduating and getting drafted, the kid has done nothing but surpass everybody’s expectations. He’s a five-tool player on and off the field. Countless awards. Giving back to his high school. Impeccable character. Can’t think of anybody better to name a field after than him.
