Mike Trout's First Truck To Be Auctioned Off In Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The first car of Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is being auctioned off in Atlantic City.

Trout's parents bought him a pickup truck when he got his driver's license in 2007, when he was a junior at Millville High School.

He bought a new car after he was drafted by the Angels and sold the truck to the parents of his now-fiancee, Jessica Cox. They then gave it to their youngest son, Aaron, who was drafted by the Angels last year and has also bought a new car.

The families decided to auction it off at the National Sports Collectors Convention next Thursday. Trout signed the outside of the glove compartment.

The truck has more than 166,000 miles on it. It's expected to sell for around $15,000.
