Thanks to the person that brought it to my attention that this is what it is
As far as I can see this is the first home opening hit he ever had
(first home opener the first one at home in Anaheim)
THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE GREATEST PIECE OF TROUT GAME USED MEMORABILIA I OWN
MIKE HAVING BEEN CALLED UP LATER IN 2012 NEVER EXPERIENCED THE EXCITEMENT OF AN HOME OPENING DAY UNTIL 4/9/2013
THIS IS THE 1ST HIT OF MIKES CAREER ON HIS 1ST EVER HOME OPENER, 1ST EVER MLB HOME OPENING DAY EVER
THIS IS A UNIQUE TRULY COLLECTIBLE 1 OF A KIND PIECE

TROUT HIT THIS VERY BALL FOR HIS VERY 1ST HIT ON HIS VERY 1ST MAJOR LEAGUE HOME OPENER!
