In Wednesday's episode, Brent explores a topic that may excite Angels fans: can Mike Trout break the all-time home run record? Building conversation off of an article he wrote at Crashing the Pearly Gates, Brent dives in further to see if it's possible for Trout to dethrone Barry Bonds for the home run title. At just 29 years old and 300 home runs to his name, Trout is in a strong position to push 600+ home runs.
