ESPN Follows AC Weekly’s Lead, Jumps on Mike Trout Bandwagon.
Monday, June 6th, 2011Well, maybe not quite, but…
Just over a day had passed since we uploaded a great piece, written by Nate Mulberg, on Millville’s baseball phenom Mike Trout, to Atlantic City Weekly’s Web site, in relation to the Los Angeles Angels minor league star being selected 12th overall in a “fantasy baseball franchise draft” conducted by ESPN when the sports station’s Web site espn.com featured the following story: “Mike Trout Waits for His Moment.”
(Of course, our story had come after the ESPN draft, thus making the claim that ESPN stole our idea completely null and void.)
The follow-up ESPN piece includes a conversation with the Angels’ outfield prospect (who plays for the Arkansas Travelers currently, the Angels’ double-A team) about moving from southern New Jersey to Arkansas.
