The injuries around baseball have been completely out of control this year. When Mike Trout came out of a game two nights ago after the first inning after missing two games for a puzzling sore back, people had every right to think Trout was the next superstar to dance with the DL.

Except Mike Trout is no Bryce Harper. And Mike Trout was in the lineup tonight. And he tripled in his first at-bat because he’s baseball’s best player.

And there was a sense of relief all around the baseball world when he returned to being an active part of it.

Now do the right thing and make sure you’re tuning in to watch the game’s best gift at least once or twice a week.
