Yup, that'€™s right: While most people his age are still deciding between Taco Bell and Pizza Hut for dinner (and occasionally choosing both when they've got the spare change), Trout is dominating the Major Leagues as one of baseball's top players, regardless of age.

 

But seriously, how young is Trout exactly? It's a question we threw around, as we thought back to 1991, the year Trout was born. It doesn'€™t seem that long ago. Only, in a lot of ways, it was.
