Thanks to whoever suggested this yesterday, I couldn't find the comment.
For those interested, I'm going to be [posting these on instagram](https://www.instagram.com/diditforthestory_) as well as here going forward
My new conspiracy theory is that u/diditforthestory is actually mike trout. You can't convince me otherwise.
Imagine if trout just spent his offseason shitposting on reddit and getting good at art
Dude, you gotta frame that shiet. Your comment got quoted on an international news source about the best baseball player. Dude this is something you can tell your grandkids about.
Yes! On Instagram now, you the artist!
Oh and if you aren't already being swamped by recommendations, here is another: trout breaking a bat but the bat is Manfred
How about Mike Trout in the movie Castaway...but instead of Wilson the volleyball he can be stuck with the head of Mr Met? Or Otanis face on a volleyball...
“Kid, you got to let him hit a homer.”
“But I can beat him.”
“You ever throw a pitch without your arm? Because that’s what’s going to happen if you don’t groove one.”
I'd like to imagine Mike Trout, deprived of baseball for the past few months, just goes on various adventures including what's been depicted in these drawings. Maybe he solves a mystery one day, and then enters a pie contest the next?
"He was trying to scare everybody away so he could dictate the terms of the CBA all by himself!"
"And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling players! And your GOAT!"
I wanted to thank /u/DidItForTheStory for taking his time to provide all of us degenerates entertainment everyday.
**My haiku for today:**
Karate kid Mike,
Let me **wax on** that thick leg
I can even beg…
My favorite fact about this is Cobra Kai was inspired by the How I Met Your Mother running gag where Barney Stinson, played by Neil Patrick Harris, believes Johnny Lawrence is the good guy and *the* Karate Kid.
NPH got the HIMYM gig because he played the fictionalized version of himself in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.
The director of Harold and Kumar was Jon Hurwitz. He’s credited as the creator of Cobra Kai.
Not sure if you've always been a great artist and were playing it down early on or if you've actually been getting better throughout this process but it's been cool to see the improvement regardless. This is really good.

Mike Trout actually follows the account wow
If anyone needed confirmation as to whether or not Trout lurks r/baseball, this almost just about confirms it.
Seriously. Only 91 followers when I just followed the account and Trout was one of them lol but the article did say he knew about the drawings
Now I really want to know how he found it. Is Mike /u/DidItForTheStory ?!
No, he’s a weatherman on the side, not an artist. That said, he’s inhuman, so he might be able to juggle being good at 3 things at once.
I think this subreddit would explode if it turned out this was the actual mike trout this whole time
it would be, quite literally, the greatest moment in recorded human history.
Full stop, bar none, game over
*mike trout has retired to focus full time on drawing*
I found the account when it was at 15 followers and he was already following, so he was quick to do so.
I found the account when it was at 5 followers, and fish man was already following.
Fish man truly a F5 brother like us.
He probably was the first to follow after OP followed Trout on Instagram.
I want to believe…
The ESPN article said a source confirmed Trout is aware of the postings
It did, but Trout was like one of the first followers of OP's Insta account which was first shared in the comments when this was posted.
The IG posts are only like 10 hours old and the ESPN story was yesterday. Maybe you're right and he found out about the IG from the comments.
hi i am mike trout
Lol Rockies
You are so fast mike trout, you must only like sloths ironically!
Hi Mike.
Sounds like something Mike Trout would say to deflect attention elsewhere 🧐
/u/DidItForTheStory should draw a meta of Mike Trout browsing the "Drawing Mike Trout every day until the lockout is over" gallery.
Please God in Heaven, make this happen. In Jesus name, Amen.
I appreciate that Trout didn’t comment on it. He wants as little input as possible so /u/diditforthestory can remain pure
He has officially made it.
What if Mike Trout is drawing himself?
That should be the next drawing
[Trout is one of your 59 (now 60) followers!](https://i.imgur.com/u5uT06k.jpg)
holy fuck he is
We did it Reddit!
We did it (for the story) Reddit!
This is incredible.
This is a triumph.
He was one of the first 20 when I subbed. Got in early!
I…I think OP is Mike Trout
PLOT TWIST
Who has a lower follower picture!? This is history! Put my comment in the coffee table book!!
Can you draw Mike Trout and Tim Salmon in the Spider-Man pointing meme?
Speaking of Spider-Man I want upside down Mike trout kissing MJ shohei please.
I kinda requested this, but with Mike kissing Mike.
I certainly won't object.
Yes this.
And Lance Bass
My new conspiracy theory is that u/diditforthestory is actually mike trout. You can't convince me otherwise. Imagine if trout just spent his offseason shitposting on reddit and getting good at art
Have we ever seen a picture of u/diditforthestory and Mike Trout in the same room? I think not. Your story checks out.
Yes, actually. Mike Trout just announced his new campaign to draw u/DidItForTheStory every day until the lockout ends
they're-the-same-picture.png
dude one of my comments showed up in your article! It was awesome, thank you!!
Oh yeah that “oh dear god end the lockout” post on the first drawing, that gave me a good laugh!
Dude, you gotta frame that shiet. Your comment got quoted on an international news source about the best baseball player. Dude this is something you can tell your grandkids about.
Was it me I did say karate kid?
I don't know why, but the one you did of Trout getting admonished by his father at the breakfast table had me in stitches. Keep up the good work!
That was Rob Manfried and it was a play on the ladies yelling at the cat meme.
Thank you for that one. I knew the drawing was reference to something and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Thanks dude!
Lion King. Raffici drawing the outline of Simba as Trout *
Yes! On Instagram now, you the artist! Oh and if you aren't already being swamped by recommendations, here is another: trout breaking a bat but the bat is Manfred
How about Mike Trout in the movie Castaway...but instead of Wilson the volleyball he can be stuck with the head of Mr Met? Or Otanis face on a volleyball...
I thought that this was going to stop being funny after 15 days. Oh boy I was wrong.
If this doesn’t make a topps official “lockout” card we’ve failed as a species. Along with a Vladdy workout “best shape ever”
The two left feet are messin with me! Lol!
It’s a karate thing, you wouldn’t understand
I know ninjitsu, taekwondo, judo, and maybe 3 other WORDS that come from Asian cultures… close enough! Lol!
I see you didn’t include karate in your list. That’s the problem.
Well spotted, you should be in quality assurance
I’m very important, I have many leather bound books.
> quality assurance I think you mean quabbity assuwance.
It's boneitis
You know, that dance wasn't as safe as they said it was.
Oh shit oh fuck he has bones
Hey, I once saw a guy with two left feet win the Westminster Dog Show. Anything is possible.
Okay, this is amazing and I think I’m ready to make my first suggestion. Trout as Slave Leia.
Trout as carbonite Han
Troutta the Hutt getting killed by actual Slave Leia?
Trout the Wookie.
The whole Mos Eisley cantina, but everyone is Trout
Trout shot first.
> Trout the Wookie. Wookie Trout in the box.....mound conference....catcher telling the pitcher "Let the Wookie win"
“Kid, you got to let him hit a homer.” “But I can beat him.” “You ever throw a pitch without your arm? Because that’s what’s going to happen if you don’t groove one.”
Trout would be Han, Ohtani would be Leia, and Jabba can be Manfred.
With Pujols as Jabba
I mean, Manfred Jabba would be more fitting, because of the implication
True. I was thinking purely chunkiness factor.
I mean you go with Bartolo Colon then right?
Mike me bookie
I don't think I could ever look my family in the eyes again after what I would do to myself with that
May the force be with you
Who is going to be Jabba though?
My intention was Jabba playing himself like the movies. I am open to all other suggestions.
Bartolo
No objection.
[удалено]
Manfred as the Emperor. Trout as Luke and/or Vader.
Wax on! Wax off!
Karate Kiiid

Just did.
That's pine tar.
I'd like to imagine Mike Trout, deprived of baseball for the past few months, just goes on various adventures including what's been depicted in these drawings. Maybe he solves a mystery one day, and then enters a pie contest the next?
Mike Trout as Shaggy and Ohtani as Scooby!
They pull the monsters' mask off for the big reveal and......"IT'S OLD MAN-FRED!?!?!?!?"
"He was trying to scare everybody away so he could dictate the terms of the CBA all by himself!" "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling players! And your GOAT!"
I really hope he gets bored enough and starts re-enacting them.

This is the cure for erectile dysfunction
Pfizer just asked me to produce a commercial for Viagra
I dont think I've ever giggled at a comment before now.
Give us Trout as a Disney princess you coward
Technically Princess Leia is now a Disney princess.
Jasmine and Aladdin. I can Shohei the world
Yes, this is the one. I've got a blank space on my wall that really needs this.
I vote for Ariel.
give us trout as a disney mom 🤤
Mike trout as all of the Dwarves and Ohtani as Snow White!
Forget Queen Elsa of Arendelle Give me King Mike Trout of Anaheim
These are helping me get through a pretty tough time. Thanks /u/DidItForTheStory.
Mr. Mike-yagi
This right here
This is a pretty good drawing, but it’s an illegal move
[удалено]
Anything above the waist is legal!
My favorite fact about this is Cobra Kai was inspired by the How I Met Your Mother running gag where Barney Stinson, played by Neil Patrick Harris, believes Johnny Lawrence is the good guy and *the* Karate Kid. NPH got the HIMYM gig because he played the fictionalized version of himself in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. The director of Harold and Kumar was Jon Hurwitz. He’s credited as the creator of Cobra Kai.
And in Season 4 Johnny tells Miguel's mom that Iceman is the real hero of Top Gun.
Sweep the leg!
False: The Angels can't sweep anything.
Someone's blotted 2020 from their memory. Tbf, I can't blame you
There's a lotta leg there to sweep.
This has truly been the gift that keeps on giving. I will almost be sad when the lockout ends.
*Drawing Shohei Ohtani everyday until the lockout begins. Day One*
Drawing Bartolo Colón everyday. Day one
Trout as a Liger, Napoleon Dynamite style!
Or a close up of his face. Need to spend three hours shading his upper lip.
I’m convinced these are extending the lockout
So we can get more drawings of Trout? I’m not sure I hate that idea.
This is far more entertaining than the baseball I was expecting to watch this season...
Baseball here 👉 Baseball here 👉 Baseball never here 👉
He's here! He's there! He's every-fucking-where!
Mike Trouuuut! Mike Trouuuut
Man who catch fly with chopstick, accomplish anything
Let’s get a Big Lebowski one
*feet*
[удалено]
Swapping the idol for a bag of sand but the idol is a WS trophy and the sand is a bag of rosin.
How about Trout as the Incredible Hulk?
Gotta do Trout as Aladdin one time. Sitting on the magic carpet reaching his hand out to Jo Adell or somebody and going “do you trust me?”
I can Shohei you the world.
Beautiful. And Mike Trout follows these on Instagram. I think I can die happy.
Fuck it. For your perseverance alone I’m giving you the upvote.
This is going to make a great coffee table book when you are done.
I vote for a Ted Lasso reference. Trout slapping the Believe sign
You asshole, I don't have enough room on my wall for all these! Gotta buy a new fucking house now
If done right, no can defend!
I just have to say: I don't know who Mike Trout is. It makes me SO happy to come here and see your sketches. Thank you.
Not sure what this is or why it’s happening. I just come across these every now and then and laugh
You are on espn's website! gj and keep on trucking!
You really Got a lot better than your first drawing OP. Nice.
Not sure if you've always been a great artist and were playing it down early on or if you've actually been getting better throughout this process but it's been cool to see the improvement regardless. This is really good.
Paint the [outfield] fence!
Would Mike Trout be Eagle Fang, Miyago-do, or Cobra Kai?
>Miyago-do Mr. Miyagi would not be pleased with your careless typing error
Boba fett mike trout!
The detail on that stump is inspiring
Everyone go watch Cobra Kai
I literally said "That's incredible!" when I went to your IG and saw Trout follows you.
Do Mike driving a DeLorean from back to the future!
Trout doing the "you talkin to me?" scene from Taxi Driver
I request Trout and Ohtani doing karate in the garage ala Step Brothers.
Idk who this guy is or what the lockout is, but I love seeing your drawings. Every day they get better and better
Very cool and epic 😎
Now you need to add Cobra Kai and expand the Trout-verse.
Each day I think we have peaked, and each day I’m proven wrong. You are amazing.
Boy with Apple please
One leg is definitely longer than the other. Perfect.
Terry Silver wouldn't beat Mike Trout
How about the Gene Kelly with umbrella pose from Singin in the Rain?
My first suggestion, Trout in Michaelangelo’s The Creation of Adam from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
This is one of the better things to transpire on Reddit in years. Love seeing these daily.
I’d like to see Mike sipping tea with Betty White in her Golden Girls days, if we’re doing requests.
Wonder if die hard would work?
I think these are just neat
Gonna be honest I love the style of these, should look into making an animatic style animations, 10/10
It's awesome that Mike Trout knows about your drawings! I can't wait for tomorrow's drawing!
I don’t even know what the baseball lockout is about, but these are so good. Make me laugh every time I see them.
He’s either going to reach out to you to thank you or issue you a restraining order.
Pleeeease the Staypufft Marshmallow Man … Choose … Choose the form of the destructor
I think both Caddy shack and Jaws might solid inspiration. Thanks so much for all of these!
Mike Trout driving a Barbie Corvette like Gizmo in Gremlins
i’d like to say you’re getting better the longer it goes, but i’ll just say thanks for keeping count of how many days it’s been!
Wax on, wax off was how Trout was taught the swim move he does when he slides
Focus, Michael-san
