The Ashburn-Trout Connection

Mike Trout joins Richie Ashburn among the youngest players to get a hit in an All-Star Game.

By virtue of his sixth-inning single, the Angel's Mike Trout, out of Vineland, N.J., and Millville High School, became the third youngest player to get a hit in an All-Star Game ... supplanting Phillies' Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn, who now drops to fourth on the list.

Special kudos to Al Kaline, who was the youngest and ninth-youngest player to get an All-Star Game hit.
