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.”

Some people were in awe of Trout’s pantry, while others were bemused that the athlete had a TikTok.
