You know it’s the offseason because some player’s girlfriend tweeted something interesting and I’m running with it. From the Twitter feed of Mike Trout’s girlfriend, Jessica Cox:
From a USA Today story describing the fish:
When old school baseball writers are describing the fish Mike Trout caught they claim it was only 30 pounds and that Miguel Cabrera caught a bigger one. In contrast, sabermetric writers describe it as a “great Leviathan,” and that “one of the wild suggestings linked with the Great Grouper was the unearthly conceit that it was ubiquitous; that he had actually been encountered in opposite latitudes at one and the same instant of time.”
500 lb Goliath Grouper! I’d say it was a good day fishing! 🎣 @trouty20 @jeffreytrout @tylertrout @debbietrout27 twitter.com/JessTara/statu…

From a USA Today story describing the fish:
Trout, his girlfriend and his brother scored big this weekend in Key West, Fla., reeling in a grouper they claim is 500 or 550 pounds, depending on who’s describing the massive catch.
