Philadelphia has become a center of attraction for multiple reasons. One being the MLB post-season and the other being the NFL season. Whether it’s the Philadelphia Phillies or the Philadelphia Eagles, both are a lot of interest, with multiple stars registering their presence in the stadiums. Now, Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout has become the latest on this list with his Lincoln Financial Field.

Notably, it was an unlikable end for Trout this MLB season. After a glorious star, the team faltered, and he also suffered injuries, hampering the playoff qualification. Trout has left that behind and is taking some time off before preparing for the upcoming season. Interestingly, his visit to Philadelphia also added to his MLB signing for the Phillies. However, it seems fans are not looking forward to it.
