ANAHEIM, CA - SEPTEMBER 26: Mike Trout #27 of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim makes a catch high over the wall to rob Jesus Montero of the Seattle Mariners of what would have been a three-run home run during the fourth inning of the game against the Seattle Mariners at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on September 26, 2015 in Anaheim, California.

Life imitated art Friday night for Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels.
The team gave fans a figurine of the center fielder robbing a home run -- and then Trout went and took away another potential home run in a 9-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
It's possible that this second-inning drive off the bat of Joey Rickard would have stayed in the yard, but Trout was taking no chances after Rickard had homered in the first inning.
Nice timing by Trout -- and the Angels.
