Mike Trout, the ten-time MLB All-Star, has been a dominating force in baseball for years while playing for the Los Angeles Angels. His numbers rival those of the legendary Babe Ruth, with over 200 stolen bases and more than 300 home runs.
But Trout’s impact extends beyond the ballpark, as a loving and playful father to his son, Beckham Aaron Trout. In 2020, he welcomed his child into the world and recently shared a playful moment when he played a prank on his little one, eliciting a dramatic cry from his baby.
Mike Trout joined in on a TikTok trend:

The viral TikTok trend, where parents pretend their babies hit their heads on a door frame, has caused quite a stir among parents and social media users alike. The challenge involves pretending that a baby has hit their head on a door frame, leading to divided opinions on whether it’s all in fun or crossing a line.
Even baseball superstar Mike Trout got in on the act recently, using the challenge to playfully gauge the reaction of his own baby, Beckham. While some found the moment unnecessary and their feelings had flared, others found the moment amusing and made cheeky comments like, “The most controversial thing trout has ever done.”

Some people didn’t find the prank amusing, however. One reply made jest of the situation by saying, “Already faking injury like his pops.”
