Angels’ Trout reaches rare feat

Published: October 01. 2012 4:00AM PST

ARLINGTON, Texas — Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout became the first major league rookie ever with 30 home runs and 40 stolen bases.

Trout hit his 30th homer Sunday, a two-out solo shot in the seventh inning at Texas off Yu Darvish in the first game of a doubleheader.

The 21-year-old Trout had a leadoff walk to start the game, then quickly got his 48th stolen base.

Only two players in the majors have ever had 30 homers and 50 stolen bases — Eric Davis in 1987 and Barry Bonds in 1990.
