MLB Promises To Feature Mike Trout On Logo, But There's A Catch

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout could soon become the most-viewed man in Major League Baseball.

That’s because MLB announced Friday that it is willing to change its logo to feature the superstar slugger’s cameo, much like the NBA logo featuring Jerry West.
