Mike Trout Quotations

Growing up, I was such a picky eater. I'm finally starting to expand.

I grew up a Phillies fan. Me and my buddies tailgated a couple of times when they won the World Series. I like just being in that atmosphere.

As I get older every year, I'm eating better. As a kid, who can turn down chips and candy? But I'm getting better.

As a kid, I had this ultimate goal to be a teacher. I wanted to be a history teacher like my dad.

I always dreamed of making it in baseball, but life has moved pretty quickly for me.

I'm not really a big Springsteen guy. I'll listen to the music, but ... I didn't really get attached to it as much as, like, country artists. That's really who I listen to.

The first couple of years in the minors were tough for me. My numbers were there, but being away from home so young was tough.

I think people keep baseballs in their cars, just to be prepared in case they see me. It's cool to get recognized in public; it's an incredible feeling.

No curfew. I live in the basement. I got everything I need. Home cooking ... it's awesome.

I used to get made fun of in the minor leagues. I'd be 0 for 2, and then in my last at-bat I'd hit a chopper that wouldn't even reach the shortstop, and I'd get a hit out of it. The guys would be all over me, but a hit's a hit. I'll take 3,000 of 'em.
