Different strokes for different folks we presume. Mike Trout, center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels, was named the 2015 MLB All-Star Most Valuable Player, and with the honor had the choice of two shiny-new Chevrolet vehicles.
Trout was offered either a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Midnight Edition, or a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro convertible. While we would have jumped all over the sixth-generation Camaro droptop, Trout decided on the Silverado Midnight Edition.
The 2015 Silverado Midnight Edition pitches a few special add-ons to the standard Silverado. The truck begins as a 2015 Silverado Z71, but an all-black front end, and body colored moldings, are applied to murder out the truck. 18-inch black-painted alloy wheels, and black bow tie badges round out the truck’s unique appearance.
Despite his choice, there’s no denying Trout’s skills on the field. Trout was also named the 2014 All-Star MVP, where he chose a 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray.
“Mike’s on-field performance was All-Star caliber and worthy of one of Chevrolet’s All-Stars,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president, Chevrolet, which has been the Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball® since 2005. “Chevrolet also encourages future All-Stars through our more than 1,500 dealers who support Chevy Youth Baseball.”
Now entering its 10th year, Chevy Youth Baseball has helped raise more than $18 million to aid local teams, and offered more than 200 youth clinics, involving 5.2 million aspiring players.
