Trouty rippin' packs, pulls his own autograph on the first pack! Lol!

I attempted to post this once already today, but I'm still waiting for approval. I'm going to try again. We may end up with 2 posts on here about the same topic. It's certainly funny enough to talk about twice!

    If we see that card for sale on EBay under user TheRealMikeTrout we will know the healing is going even worse. He kind of has inside info!

    Cool video thanks for sharing.

    That is awesome. Funny to see him so excited to pull a card that he autographed 15 years ago. Must have been surreal to experience.

    Isn't stuff on the interwebs sometimes staged or fake?

    Are you questioning the legitimacy of Trouty's card pulling prowess? I mean, MLB.com says Trouty is the greatest, so it must be so. MLB would NEVER try to con fans when it comes to Trouty!

    I absolutely believe that the man would pull his own Rookie card autograph from the very first pack, in front of his son, while filming.

    Who would ever insinuate that Trouty is a complete fraud?

    If you know anything at all about Trouty is that he is absolute money early in the game and the biggest dud late. I bet that box was absolute crap after that big early hit. Pulling a Trouty autograph now, when the value of his cards is sinking, is kind of like going 4-5 with 2 homeruns against Seattle when both teams are 15 games out of first.

    This story and video were both totally on brand for Trouty.

    Does anyone but me think that, that was staged for his son?
    I wonder if Trout was diagnosed with carpal tunnel after
    opening all those packs.

    I was thinking that or the CT Scan guy was looking for a investor. But ya,anyone thinking he opened that first pack in or whatever is a fool.

    How much did it sale for is one of the funniest and most ignorant things I've ever heard.
