Mike Trout reached a major milestone with his 400th career home run on Saturday night, and the person who caught the ball was kind enough to give it back to the Los Angeles Angels slugger. The fan just had one very simple request.
Trout became the 59th player in MLB history to hit 400 career home runs when he homered in the eighth inning of the Angels’ 3-0 win over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colo.
The home run was a solo shot that traveled 485 feet.

The fan who caught the ball had a chance to meet with Trout after the game. He had an awesome request for the 11-time All-Star — the fan wanted to play a quick game of catch.
The fan who caught and returned Mike Trout's 400th home run ball had one small request from the 3-time MVP.

Obviously, the fan could have simply kept the ball or asked for a lot more. Instead, he kept his request manageable and cashed in on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play catch with one of the best players in MLB history.
Hopefully Trout and the Angels hooked the fan up with a bit more than that.
