This Trout's a winner, too

May. 29, 2010 3:49 pm
Mike Trout was a first-round major league draft pick last year who signed for over $1 million. He's having a great first full season in the minor leagues for the Cedar Rapids Kernels and is establishing himself as one of the game's better prospects.
And the victories for he and his family keep coming off the field, too.
Trout's mother, Debbie, was one of three winners of a free used car Friday night on Pat McGrath Chevyland's annual Used Car Night at the ballpark. Debbie and Jeff Trout are in town this weekend from New Jersey to watch their son play.
Debbie Trout just happened to have the number of a winning ticket that was called. She donated the car back to the Kernels, so it could be used as transportation by one or more of the players.
