VIDEO: Albert Pujols cracks egg on birthday boy Mike Trout's head
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
What kind of cake does a three-time NL MVP give the reigning AL MVP for his birthday?
An unfinished one.
Ahead of the Los Angeles Angels' meeting Friday with the Baltimore Orioles, Albert Pujols wished Mike Trout a happy birthday by pouring powder on the now 24-year-old before cracking an egg on his head, as captured by teammate Kole Calhoun.
The creative birthday ritual seemed to help Trout, as he went yard for his league-leading 33rd home run of the season. He finished the game 2-for-3 with a pair of walks in the 8-4 Angels win.
If this is how the veterans treat a four-time All-Star, imagine what would happen to a rookie. Angels fans will be able to see in just a few weeks with reliever Trevor Gott's 23rd birthday being on Aug. 26.
