Wait, Mike Trout is only 22 years old?

Wait, Mike Trout is only 22 years old?
Holy shit.

He's off to a pretty amazing start. This year might, by one or two measures, be his worst full season, but he'll still be playing at an MVP-caliber level. I'm hoping he stays healthy (and with the Angels) out of sheer curiosity over what he might accomplish in the 'post-steroids' era (chuckle). Check the link for his age-21 comparables: that's an impressive list.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
