On Feb. 27, Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout posted a pair of pictures on Instagram featuring him with Patrick Renna, who immortalized the role of Ham in 1993’s “The Sandlot.”
“I’ve been around a lot of great players, but nobody touches #thegreathambino,” Trout captioned the photos, while adding the hashtag #legend.
In one photo, the duo pose near home plate, while the second shot captures Trout in the batter’s box, with Renna behind the dish in full catcher’s gear as if he’s waiting for a pitch.Renna actually posted the photos over a week ago., referencing Major League Baseball players reporting for spring training.Mike Trout and Patrick Renna await the pitch.“First you take the graham, you stick the chocolate on the graham,” J.J. Watt wrote, referencing one of Ham’s lines in the movie.
Renna’s Ham went on to become a professional wrestler, while Trout’s accomplishments on the baseball field may have eclipsed anything Benny did. Widely considered one of the game’s premier players, Trout is a 10-time All-Star. He was named 2012 American League Rookie of the Year and has gone on to win three MVP Awards.
