The Los Angeles Angels are in Oakland this week to play the A's. Hey, you know who else is in Oakland? The Golden State Warriors! Wouldn't it be cool if they could hang out and talk? Since, you know, Steph Curry and Mike Trout are considered possibly the best players in each of their sports? Well, they made it happen, just so the Internet could enjoy.
The Angels visited the Warriors and Mike Trout might be playing the wrong sport
Ever have that feeling that you might be playing the wrong sport?

Just an ordinary big fan that asked to meet Mike Trout.
At the end of the day, we learned that the former American League MVP might be playing the wrong sport:

Draymond on losing to Mike Trout in PIG: "I'm not very good at shooting games. I can shoot IN the game but I ain't good at shooting games."

While Trout didn't quite manage to best the reigning NBA MVP in the most venerable of practice-court shooting games, Angels pitcher Joe Smith actually managed to do just that himself:

Does this mean that if Mike Trout were running the point for the Warriors, they could’ve won 80 games? No, definitely not. But it’s still cool.
