Trout is a Jersey Boy, wish he had signed with a home town team.

How is the world is Joey Votto, a past MVP and consistently in the top 10 in batting average, (and my personal crush) missing from the list?

Mike Trout might not belong in Los Angeles for a reason that has nothing to do with baseball.

 

The Angels superstar has made his affinity for the weather known in recent years, striking up a relationship with meteorologist Jim Cantore and posting videos and messages about a variety of storms on his Twitter account. The snowstorm that hit the Northeast on Thursday, deemed the “bomb cyclone,” caught Trout’s interest a day earlier and led to an onslaught of weather-related messages to his wife.

 

 

It didn’t take long for Jessica Cox, who wed Trout in December fittingly in a snow-covered setting, to grow tired of her husband’s hobby.

 

 

“He’s about one weather map photo short of me muting his text message alerts… #theobsessionsisreal,” she wrote on Twitter, in response to Cantore’s high praise for Trout’s knowledge of meteorology.

 

Cantore, who has had Trout call into his show on The Weather Channel and sent him a weather balloon in 2016 to track trends, said the two have been actively discussing the blizzard as details kept surfacing this week.

 

“I’ve been talking to Mike Trout all week. He’s so excited about this storm right now. He’s been blowing up my phone,” Cantore said on SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio. “There’s no question that he would have been a meteorologist if he wasn’t a phenomenal baseball player. He really loves weather. He’s a total geek about it, and it’s great talking to him.”
