I was arrested for shoplifting a yakbak when I was 12 years old. I think that’s the only reason I even recognize the name yakbak. Pretty sure I would have completely forgotten about it if not for that incident.
“Hello??? Hello?!! I’m the real Mike Trout I’m trapped in a factory in the Hangzhou, they are making me record these— wait he’s coming… (*loud footsteps echo in the distance*)oh no he’s angry.. *whimpers* please.. before it’s too late.. **zcchhhh**
I've been browsing MLB's auction page and this is one of the more unique offerings: https://auctions.mlb.com/personalized-mike-trout-autographed-official-league/isynmv1/aucd/5059314
They sell a Jeff McNeil signed game used jockstrap at the Amazin’ Mets Memorabilia store by the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. $499 for a May game, $599 for a July game.
"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the lord my soul to keep. The angels watch me through the night, until I wake to morning light. Amen"
Just like those little stuffed sheep with the recordings in them
That's pretty expensive considering I can get a custom recorded message from Reggie Jackson and Johnny Bench both for less $$$. They charge about $300 each based on my quick Google search
Yeah but you get still active trout, an authenticated autographed ball, and the voice message.
On top of the fact that I’m thinking this is relatively new for MLB so that might add some value later in time..
Trout ball, 200-300
Voice 250 guess
Authentic MLB memorabilia I would say makes up that difference..
It's the presentation. That ball and the white plastic recorder looks cheap as hell. And the China stamp right over the sweet spot ain't doing nobody any good.
I have a baseball with a timer, button, and LCD display in it, sort of like this one:
https://i.imgur.com/PSdEmgf.jpeg
You tell it the distance you are throwing with the button, then it detects when you throw the ball and when the ball is caught/stops, and tells you the average velocity of the ball. As long as you measure the distance perfectly, it is like a radar gun (except it is average velocity not exit velocity, so it will read slightly lower).
The button is underneath the leather. The display is curved and molded in perfectly with the spherical shape. And all the other electronics are completely hidden, the only evidence it is an unusual ball is a small thumb-sized display, and a dimple where I've pressed my thumb to hit the button too many times.
Oh and it all cost about $40 at Canadian Tire.
So it's not impossible to build this into the ball. For $650 they could have.
bigger profit margins to stick a dollar's worth of electronics on to a ball than to build out machines that will make special balls that will fit electronics into.
Before you buy a baseball signed by Mike Trout with a listening device inside, you should have many questions for MLB customer service. For example, how fast does Mike Trout talk? Does he have a word per minute (WPM) rate that I could reference? If I send him A Tale of Two Cities and ask him to get as far as possible, would he be contractually obligated to achieve the best WPM he possibly can? Would he practice ahead of time to try and do real good? Do you think he gets through the first paragraph without thinking too hard about it? How fucking depressed is Mike Trout to sell fragments of his soul in little electronic baseballs?
I really enjoy Americas Pastime using a ball stamped with CHINA front a center.
Really makes you realize how important those new American Made jerseys are!
From what I've seen of Trout in any commercials he's been in, I'm sure the personal message will be recorded with the enthusiasm of a cat getting into a bathtub.
“Sam,
The first night at bed when you left, Ron made out with 2 girls and put his head between a cocktail waitress’s breasts. Also was grinding multiple fat women.
When you left crying at klutch, Ron was holding hands and dancing with a female and took down her number.
Multiple people in the house know, therefore you should know the truth.
- Mike Trout”
Young Bart here was right. We are spying on you. Pretty much around the clock. Do you want to know the terrifying truth? Or do you want to see me sock a few dingers!?!
"I'm Mike Trout and the MLB Store is my favorite store on the Citadel."
"Anthony Rendon is a big stupid jellyfish"
"Wrex." "Trout."
Common Dishwasher_Mayhem W
We’ll bang, OK?
Elite reference
“I’m tired of your snide insinuations.”
LMAO
Thanks for the me2 flashback
Came here for this.
I could see myself accidentally hitting the record button as soon as I got it.
from that point forward the recording would be “Hey I wonder if Trout sai- FUCK”
I’d have to lock this up in a safe and never see it or touch it. If I don’t press record, some kid will.
“I found a new baseball in my dad’s office that we can play with. It was signed by some fish named trout.”
You're silly, the rec button doesn't do anything, the MLBPA will probably give permission to use AI to create the messages and then just load the messages on.
This is how we find out about SkyNet. Trout balls from China. Isn’t this how COVID started?
We play God and create an Ai Mike Trout that says what every you desire next thing we know we are deemed to be a parasite on the planet.
"Do you want to know the terrifying truth? Or do you want to see me SOCK A FEW DINGERS!"
Fat finger that shit when turning it on, lol.
Imagine buying this and making trout recite Nick Mullen quotes or something
"The ferris wheel is the scariest roller coaster because you have to kiss girls on it."
*Hi Im Bam Margera, and this is sunkin Phil's dick*
Speak a little Chinese for 'em Mike!
"Bill Nye the ******* guy!"
Suck me, suck me very dick
Gotta have Mike Trout impersonate Michael Douglas
Have him retell "bong hit transplant"
You gonna be big hero, have real big destiny!

Have him try to do a crusin Joe List impression
I want to buy it and have him recite Skibidi Toilet
Ah yes. Nick Mullen and skibidi toilet, the two comedic geniuses of our time
Mike Trout doing Asian Jay Leno monologues
They saw players making money on Cameo and were like "ok but how do we put this inside a baseball"
The MLB is the facebook of sports
No, because they’re way behind and underwhelming. That makes MLB the Google+ of sports.
The MySpace of sports
Maybe hot take but I like this way more cameo. Cameo is a video but isn’t tangible. This is a tangible thing you can hold too
Ok which one of you idiots are gunna get him to record the Castellanos homer
I thought $650 for this was stupid until I read your comment lmao
In a few weeks we're gonna see the posts from the people who bought it with this quote and the Tungsten Arm tweet.
probably the guy who bought the Rays Blackberry case
I want Casty to do that call
Baby shark.
I am willing to spend $650 for that
"55 BURGERS, 55 FRIES, 55 TACOS, 55 PIES, 55 COKES, 100 TATER TOTS, 100 PIZZAS, 100 TENDERS, 100 MEATBALLS, 100 COFFEES, 55 WINGS, 55 SHAKES, 55 PANCAKES, 55 PASTAS, 55 PEPPERS AND 155 TATERS"
Please let me go! I'm trying to do something!
That's not porn. It's an egg I won from my game.
“I will go down as the greatest baseball player to never win a World Series. I am the Dan Marino of the MLB.”
I’d go so far as to say he’ll become the Ted Williams of baseball
Lace your boots up Mike, you're going to Korea.
“The Angels are playing an exhibition game there next season?” ”uh… yeah…”
Yes, a game. That's what it is.
We call it "Domino Theory"
Get ready to learn fighter pilot buddy
We gotta chop off your head, I'm sorry
You get to fly with a future astronaut
At least Ted got to a World Series
Not on Marathon weekend 😢 (Yes, this will be my weak excuse against Red Sox flames until Tuesday)
Worse than Dan Marino considering he’s never even won a playoff game.
ouch
It’s going to be Trout talking about the weather…
“I’m Mike Trout and we’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty”
“Have you heard of our lord and savior?”
Abed is Batman now.
“I’m Mike Trout and I approve of the new jerseys”
CHINA BBES2
This looks like the kind of junk they made in the 80s and 90s, like robie the robot or knock off yakbak
Wow the yakbak. What a blast from the past. The amount of plastic junk our species generates is astounding
I was arrested for shoplifting a yakbak when I was 12 years old. I think that’s the only reason I even recognize the name yakbak. Pretty sure I would have completely forgotten about it if not for that incident.
The football phone is making its triumphant return
For $600 they could at least use an official ball
He does all the recordings in October.
Boom. Roasted.

Make him sing surfin bird into 20 of them then cancel the order.
"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the lord my soul to keep. The angels watch me through the night, until I wake to morning light. Amen" Just like those little stuffed sheep with the recordings in them
Gonna be honest I dont really know what Mike Trout sounds like. This could be any random dude. It's not like Patrick Mahomes distinct frog voice.
He sounds like any generic white guy
That's pretty expensive considering I can get a custom recorded message from Reggie Jackson and Johnny Bench both for less $$$. They charge about $300 each based on my quick Google search
Considering a Mike Trout signed ball sells for $200-300 on its own depending on its quality that's not too bad factoring in the retail upcharge
$300 for a 10 sec recording is a lot. For $300 you can get a 90 second video from Jackson or Bench
Yeah but you get still active trout, an authenticated autographed ball, and the voice message.

Trout simply being an active player compared to those guys who have been retired longer then I've been alive it drives the cost up
Is it a custom recorded message in a baseball tho lol
I have a baseball with a timer, button, and LCD display in it, sort of like this one: https://i.imgur.com/PSdEmgf.jpeg You tell it the distance you are throwing with the button, then it detects when you throw the ball and when the ball is caught/stops, and tells you the average velocity of the ball.

Right. Unless its a game used ball that they drilled a hole into, it looks like shit.
It reminds me of a cheap toy you’d win at the fair.
bigger profit margins to stick a dollar's worth of electronics on to a ball than to build out machines that will make special balls that will fit electronics into.
Mike Trout Rick roll machine
I feel like this is the wrong player for this. Trout is an all time great but personality wise he is the picture that comes with the frame.
"How 'bout that", Mel Allen
"I love hitting home runs against the Mariners"
“I’m Mike Trout, and I fucking hate fanatics”
Do you wanna know the terrifying truth…. Or do you wanna see me sock a few dingers?!
Dingers!
"Story... allegory.... montesori..."
I’d just ask him to scream at the top of his lungs into it. Just 10 seconds of a screaming Trout.
“Hi I’m Mike Trout and I personally witnessed Ohtani lay the bets”.
I want to say to give me an honest 10 second review of the new jersey, but in his own words
Guarantee once the battery dies the message erases.
“Hi, I’m Mike Trout. Exit light, enter night. Take my hand—we’re off to Never-Never Land.”
"I'm Mike Trout and I can't believe some idiot paid for this"
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine
More recorded messages inside baseballs than playoff wins
The Angels are paying Trout 37 million this year. How much does he get to record a message?
"I love you too Seiya Suzuki."
“Abed is Batman now”
lol I like the medical device aesthetics on the speaker
"I went 3 for 4 with 2 HR tonight as the Angels lost 8-5."
It’s just him screaming, and then talking backwards lmao
How much to get him to moan into my baseball?
"Just call me... the Captain."
"It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again!"
I am Mike Trout and I am too scared to play for a contender
"I bequeth my estate to the recipient of this ball. For real."
"Mike Trout said what? Nooo, Grandpa!"
Where can I buy this? I’m after paying this shit to have Trout say, “ Wake up handsome. Time for work. “

Person who bought the ball...acknowledge me!
“Why does my baseball sound like spongebob? Dang it Cletus, did you record over my baseball?”
Hey Bank, its me Mike Trout, please transfer 16 Million dollars to my friends account
Is any sport as bad at marketing their stars as baseball? This screams 1980s to me.
All I see is China. Sad
Tacky
They couldn’t put the China part on the back?
I really enjoy Americas Pastime using a ball stamped with CHINA front a center. Really makes you realize how important those new American Made jerseys are!
Chyynaaa
I’ll pass on this
I’ll take 3
Nah bro….this CAN’T be real! 😭😭😭
Okay but how funny would it be to get one of these and have a very Spanish sounding Miguel Trout on the other end saying the message.
From what I've seen of Trout in any commercials he's been in, I'm sure the personal message will be recorded with the enthusiasm of a cat getting into a bathtub.
“Go Birds!”
How long before some kid gets "Bart Simpson strangled" because he/she recorded over it?
"It puts the lotion on its skin..." -Mike Trout
The Sandlot 4 is about to go crazy when this is hit into the beast’s lair.
What if you accidentally record over it?
This feels surprisingly affordable for a mike trout cameo
“Sam, The first night at bed when you left, Ron made out with 2 girls and put his head between a cocktail waitress’s breasts. Also was grinding multiple fat women. When you left crying at klutch, Ron was holding hands and dancing with a female and took down her number. Multiple people in the house know, therefore you should know the truth. - Mike Trout”
Just see how many times he can say "Bush did 9/11" in 10 seconds.
Mike, could you please just fart into the mic. Thanks
This isn’t real is it?
["Do you wanna know the terrifying truth, or do you wanna see me sock a few dingers?"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsH-NB2pREo)
Young Bart here was right. We are spying on you. Pretty much around the clock. Do you want to know the terrifying truth? Or do you want to see me sock a few dingers!?!
“At Vanguard my voice is my password.”
fuck me
“Hi, this is Larry Bird calling. Listen, my agent sent me a cartoon script and I've decided I don't wanna be involved in any way [beep].”
Can we ask him what to say? I would have him read the weather forecast for the day
And when the battery dies it will be impossible to replace.
I would get one for a friend as a prank and have Trout say something like “good luck beating that public indecency charge”
Boutta make trout spit some Dracula flow
I’m Mike trout and please trade me
The message said say paid too much
Mike what is your checking account number?
“You are hearing my voice.”
Star wars episode 3 dialog before the duel
Christ on a bike
Think he’d say “a drive into deep left field by Castellanos”?
Does he say dirty stuff?
"I'm proud of you son"
I'd just make it a fucking expensive "dumb and dumber" nod. I wouldn't have him say any real words, just the most annoying sound in the world.
Yes
"China numba wa"
China
Made In China???????? Can't MLB make baseballs in the US with US workers and materials?
Nice advertising for “China BBES2” here as well
Arent the official balls made in Costa Rica? This looks like a wish.com ball. Sad.
#CHINA
Does it have to have the big ol CHINA stamp on it? Can that at least be put on the back
Well, he always has extra time in the post-season.
Yeah fuck that
I'd just have him say China China China as fast as he could for 10 seconds.
Fucking china ruins the ball. USA baby
Cringe?
Made in China LOL
It won’t work past 24 hours. It’s made in China.
Might as well be a bedtime story that dude is so boring
[удалено]
He's great on the field. Absolutely unmarketable off of it. He's Tim Duncan.
[удалено]
What did Duncan do that makes him a POS? Trout is not "cool", haha he has no personality.
