The big league season is a long one and I need the best fuel to perform.

"And remember kids, performance enhancing drugs are bad."

EDIT: Commentary on the mixed messages we send through advertising, not at all meant to be a suggestion that Trout is doing anything he shouldn't be doing.

I'm glad Trout is so dedicated to the brand that he makes sure to add the trademark after BODYARMOR SuperDrink when he speaks.

Trout is going to be one of my fantasy team keepers this off-season, so I hope this stuff has been proven to not cause gigantism.

Well, at least he's not shilling for Delta Airlines....that didn't work out so well for another young, budding superstar!

It is so super that everything should be put in caps.

#10, When I saw Trout on the cover of SI, it reminded me of this classic Frenchy cover.

Bryce Harper, defying all medical advice has switched to Powersauce's arch rival, the VitaPeach health bar. Doctors say he may not have the meganutrients needed to stave off death.

You can sort of forgive Trout, since he's very young and hasn't made a crudton of money yet, but this is a pretty disgusting part of pro sports. Hock anything you can if they pay you enough. People won't think less of you--in fact, they'll point out how savvy you are.

I'm very much reminded of the opening scene in the Wire, to paraphrase -- this is America man!

There's lots of stuff to be disgusted with, I don't think getting paid to endorse a sports drink is one of them.
