Trout is a fantastic player. Could turn to be one of the all time greats. And so far he has zero mystique and zero presence that transcends the sport. Everyone in America knew who Mickey Mantle and Jackie were. Not only will every bat, glove and plastic cup Trout touches be preserved, but he will never ever reach the zenith of a Mickey Mantle. Hell, Griffey had a great career and is not in the same ballpark as Mantle. Times have changed. If you think otherwise good luck. Those Trout batting gloves aren't going to pay for anyone's college education.
