Millville High School's Mike Trout has been making his mark all season, and that didn't stop just because he turned 21 Tuesday. In fact, he celebrated by clubbing the 25th home run of his career.
Only eight players in major league history had more home runs by the time they started their 22nd year on earth. Two of them (Frank Robinson, Alex Rodriguez) also homered on the day they turned 21.

How did this one get away ? Did the Phillies not know the way to Millville ?— rockinginthefreeworld- Because the Phils gave up their first round draft pick in 09 to the Mariners as compensation for signing Ibanez. — MrLincoln
- Trout was gone a few picks before the Phils. Not only would the Phils have needed to hold on to that pick, they then needed to trade up. Would've never happened
