Mike Trout's wall-leaping, homer-robbing catch is now immortalized as a Topps baseball card
Hey, remember back in September, when Mike Trout said, "Your services are not needed today, gravity" and basically hurdled the Angels Stadium center-field wall to rob a home run? It looked like this:
In a season riddled with Trout catches that rewrote the possibility of human endeavor, this one at the tail end of the season might very well have been the best.

Next season, perhaps Trout's Topps card will depict his snowstorm reporting adventures.
