Mike Trout is a bona fide MLB superstar. And the fans know it too. The athlete has a superlative offensive output, but it is his fan interactions that make him the model for several great moments in MLB. As Mike Trout made his way to the diamond when the LA Angels took on the Chicago White Sox, little did he know that he was going to create an iconic moment in MLB. Selfies in sports are now commonplace, but to have one mid-game with arguably the greatest hitter in the past decade is definitely special. And one LA Angel fan just might have had his wish granted.

The LA Angels have made a flying start to their campaign. With a 15-9 record so far in the AL West, they sit pretty atop the standings. Storming into an early lead at the top of the first, the Angels never let the lead slip as the game went on. Also, the fans certainly made the most of it. In a day game, and a sultry afternoon, one fan was perhaps a more unexpected spectator than any other. Especially for his school.
