08:13 AM ET 12.26 | Mike Trout returned home to Millville, N.J., for the holidays, only to find it wasn't exactly the same place it was a year ago. Nearly everyone in this South Jersey city of 28,511 people talks about this 21-year-old with some familiarity. ... He's a reluctant celebrity, preferring to come home to his once normal life but now having to hide from the frequent crush of instant superstardom. "I guess that's the price you pay," said his father, Jeff Trout, who grew up in Millville and spent four seasons in the Minnesota Twins' minor leagues as a switch-hitting second baseman before returning home to raise a family and coach baseball and teach history at Millville High. "It's tough for Mikey at home now because everything has changed."

One of the main reasons I would not want to win the Power Ball, if you cannot enjoy yourself in a small town where can you go hide.

mike trout needs to adjust his batting average, should he repeat his hitting next season in the first season, or should he become a complete hitter in the whole season??this rookie did fail to continue his great hitting from august to to sept,,,

Don't worry Mike. With Josh Hamilton adding to Pujols in our line up. You will see HOME plate quite often the next 5 years. GO ANGELS!!!

Salmon is better. I grill mine, then make a lemon dill sauce. It's really good.

Well pretty soon he will have enough money to get a castle on a hill. I have watched a lot of baseball a long time, and this kid makes me think of Oklahoma...
