Baseball is known as America's pastime. The sport is the oldest in the country and remains one of the most popular sports in the world. Because baseball is the oldest sport, many young people aren't as drawn to it as before. A ton of factors play into it, but the sport is in a good spot with a ton of talent led by Angels superstar Mike Trout.

The 31-year-old is not entirely on the younger side anymore (sports-wise), but he still knows his way around the popular video, music, and live-stream app TikTok. The Halos visited the Baltimore Orioles earlier this week, and Trout hit his 359th career home run at Camden Yards. The three-time MVP decided to have fun with it and posted a video of his TikTok with a hilarious voiceover for the viewers. Take a look at it for yourself. 

The voiceover that Trout used is usually used in a funny context that millions have used in many videos. The righty slugger passed on the three previous pitches in the AB and took advantage of the fourth pitch in which he "smashed" it out of the ballpark—well played, Mike. 

Mike hit his 359th homer in Baltimore, where he had ironically hit his first career home run 12 years earlier.

Baseball is fun, and Trout shows that it can be that way, regardless of what people say. The nine-time silver slugger is having fun, and it shows in his social media and on the field.
