In what had to be the most eventful year of his life, baseball prodigy Mike Trout began the 2012 season at AAA Salt Lake. This is where he hit .403 with five home runs, 13 RBI and scored 21 runs in 20 games before being promoted to the Los Angeles Angels big league club; where he promptly made such a profound impact that he was immediately being considered as the best player in the game. In 139 games with the Angels, Trout led the league with 129 runs scored and 49 stolen bases, hit 30 home runs with 83 RBI and compiled an incredible .963 OPS (on-base + slugging percentage). He was also a virtual highlight reel in center field. It was a no brainer that Trout would win the Rookie of the Year Award, but he also finished a close second to Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera for the AL MVP award.
Trout wore these size 11.5 black and red Nike Shox Gamer cleats during his unbelievable 2012 campaign. He signed each one in bright silver sharpie with a “2012 G/U” inscription on the big toe instep of the shoes. Black leather and mesh shoes have a red Nike swoosh on the side and red laces with a white “Shox Gamer” logo and white Nike swoosh on the tongues. These cleats show moderate game use with dirt stains on the side mesh fabric and dirt and grass on the soles. Comes with Anderson Authentics LOA signed by Trout.
