WATCH: Mike Trout crushes third homer in two days at Yankee Stadium in historic back-to-back-to-back fashion

Mike Trout has spent most of his career being the best player nobody outside of baseball pays attention to because the Angels have been irrelevant for the better part of a decade. This week in New York he got the spotlight he deserves and made the most of every second of it.

In the top of the first inning on Tuesday, Trout took a 94 mph four-seam fastball from Ryan Weathers 432 feet over the center field wall at Yankee Stadium for his fifth homer of the season and his third in two days.

Jo Adell followed him with a 445-foot blast on the very next pitch. Jorge Soler followed Adell with a 399-foot shot on the pitch after that. Three straight Angels homers to open the game. All three off Weathers’ four-seam fastball. Angels win 7-1.

WATCH: Jorge Soler charged the mound in Anaheim on Tuesday night and it was an absolute scene >>

That back-to-back-to-back was the sixth time in Mike Trout’s 16-season career he has been involved in a three-consecutive-homer sequence.

That ties Adrian Beltré and JD Drew for the most such instances by any player during the expansion era dating back to 1961.

A 34-year-old Mike Trout is still doing things nobody else has done in the history of the sport.

The series itself has been historically notable beyond just Tuesday night. Monday’s opener was only the second game since 1900 to feature the top four active home run leaders on the same field at the same time.

Trout, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Paul Goldschmidt were all in the building. The only comparable instance was June 12th, 1956, when Gil Hodges, Duke Snider, Stan Musial, and Hank Sauer shared a field in St. Louis.

Weathers threw 10 strikeouts in five innings on Tuesday and still allowed five runs. That is a Mike Trout problem, a Jo Adell problem, and a Jorge Soler problem all happening at the same time. The Angels are 9-9 and quietly a real team when Trout is doing what Trout does. Which is most of the time.

The man is a Hall of Famer playing like a Hall of Famer and this week in New York reminded everyone watching why.
