Mike Trout, man. You’ve got to love the guy. Who else could possibly be one of the greatest baseball players ever while simultaneously being a weatherman? No one, that’s who.
Trout is legitimately a weather nerd, through and through. We’ve known this for years. And, apparently, he’s spent his time during Major League Baseball’s lockout brushing up on his weather reporting skills.
Trout tweeted out a video of the snow coming down on his year on Friday night. He was very clearly excited to be getting this much snow. His entire yard was basically covered with even more snow on the way.

He also called into the weather channel on Friday to talk about the noreaster currently hitting the East coast. He also gave us lockout update.

“Haven’t heard much. With the lockout it’s awfully quiet right now. Hopefully, we can get a deal done and get this season going. You know, I don’t want to miss any games. It’s going to be tough. Obviously, we’re trying to do what’s right for the game. We’re trying to promote the game and make it interesting for the fans.”
That’s good stuff from Trout, man. He’s a longtime listener, but he’s definitely not a first-time caller. He’s done this before.
