The World Baseball Classic represents the first games Mike Trout, the Los Angeles Angels star often described as the greatest player of his generation, has played with something on the line since 2014

That’s because everyone wants to play with Mike Trout, the Los Angeles Angels star often described as the greatest player of his generation. His presence on the Team USA roster helped attract a dazzling array of talent that will help the team defend its 2017 championship in the World Baseball Classic, World Cup-style international baseball tournament that gets under way this week.
