Mike Trout is one of the biggest stars in Major League Baseball, but sometimes it’s nice to watch one of the greatest athletes on the planet look like a total dork while getting hit with a paper ball. Albert Pujols is also one of the biggest stars in MLB, and known as a bit of a curmudgeon, so it’s nice to see him cut loose a bit, and hit one of the greatest athletes on the planet in the face with a paper ball.

Even the most sensitive and least good-humored of Trout fans have to admit that’s some good derpface right there. Kudos to Pujols for the perfect shot.

The Los AngelesAngels are fighting for a playoff spot, largely on the backs of their two best hitters, Trout and Pujols. They each have 33 homers to their name (tied for third in baseball), and Trout, the reigning MVP, is still doing his “best player in baseball” thing. Pujols, meanwhile, is having a resurgent season at the plate a year after his enormous contract looked like one of the worst in baseball. It still might turn out that way, but if he can help Trout slug the Angels into the postseason and beyond, it will have been worth it. And a couple more well-placed paper balls to the face can’t hurt either. Well, it can’t hurt us.
