The current face of MLB Mike Trout was a huge Derek Jeter fan. He even repped No. 2 growing up in honor of the Yankees legend. So when Trout rolled up to second base during his rookie season and met Jeter for the first time, he asked for an autograph.

Trout got that signed ball by the end of the series. Asked if he’d do the same for another youngster these days, Trout didn’t hesitate. “I’ll sign the ball,” the superstar outfielder said. “I’ll send it over.” MLB is in good hands with this superstar.
