2003 MVP Sports Cards #10 Mike Trout Little League Card with Trout Family Provenance.
A few years later from his 2000 Little League, Trout moved up to the Millville American Cal Ripken league and received another baseball card. His second youth baseball card is a 2003 MVP Sports Cards #10 Mike Trout Little League Card.
The trading card from his pre-teen years shows Trout in a Steelman Photo Cubs jersey and cap, kneeling with a baseball bat in hand. The front also features his name, team name and positions. Similar to the previous card, the back contains Trout's updated player information, including his age (11), height (5'1"), weight (102 lbs) and an additional smaller image of his player photo. Incredibly charming, the cards are an early link to one of the greatest MLB players of the modern pro baseball era.
Trout was selected out of high school by the Angels in the first round (25th overall) of the 2009 MLB Draft. He made his major league debut in July 2011 before being sent back down to the minors and winning the 2011 Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year award. In 2012, he was called up to the majors once again, and would go on to win the MLB Rookie of the Year, cementing his place in center field for the Angels ever since.
The rare five-tool player became the face of the league in the coming years. While a World Series ring still eludes his illustrious pro career, Trout has won basically every other major MLB award. He is an 11-time All-Star, three-time AL MVP, nine-time Silver Slugger Award winner, two-time Hank Aaron Award winner, AL RBI leader (2014), AL stolen base leader (2012) and more.
This could be your only chance to acquire the earliest known pair of Trout Rookie cards in the world (See Lot 121), coming directly from Trout’s family.
