ARLINGTON, Texas — Mike Trout finally has his stolen base.
“Can’t have a zero,” Trout said with a smile on Wednesday, two days after stealing his first base of the season. “I had to get one.”
The notion of the Angels’ star being so excited to get “one” would have seemed ludicrous a few years ago. Trout stole 49 bases as a rookie in 2012. He stole at least 30 two other seasons and at least 20 twice.
