Baseball is officially back. The smell of fresh cut grass, the crisp pop of a 96-mile-per-hour fastball hitting the catcher’s mitt, and, most importantly, Mike Trout doing completely superhuman things on a baseball diamond. If you thought the 34-year-old center fielder was ready to quietly ride off into the Anaheim sunset after a few grueling,…
