LA Angels star Mike Trout might be out on the injured list, but he still hasn’t stopped spreading joy to the world. While Trout is currently recuperating from his surgery to repair his hamate fracture, the Angels’ fanbase took it upon themselves to make the day of a young man suffering from the brutal disease, cancer.

There might be no fixed timeline for Trout to return to the diamond. However, intentionally or not, the 31-year-old brought joy to a young man. It is to be noted that Mike is doing this all while being injured. There is no doubt that his team will be affected big time in his absence, but the Angles slugger seems to have provided some courage to a young Angels fan to battle cancer.
