The details may be a little off, but my niece and her friend met him at training camp a couple years ago and were instant fans. He was so friendly and signed autographs. A little while later, the girls were waiting at the stadium where players exit in their cars. Trenton was one of the players to drive by and he stopped to talk to them and sign things. The girls noticed that he had a fishing rod in the back of his car. They went back down again, but this time with signs [somewhat joking] asking if he would take them fishing. Trenton again stopped to talk to them and joked with them about the sign. Then, unbelievably, he reached out to the other girl's mom and told her he wanted to take them fishing when he got back from San Fran. So on Monday, he actually made it happen!
It's just incredible how he went out of his way multiple times to interact with these girls! He made a memory of a lifetime for them. It is so easy to root for this team with players like this. Trenton made fans for life!
Was gonna say, "this must be the pic of the Pumpkinseed he posted yesterday!"
Lo and behold, it is: being an absolutely avid fisherman and a half, if I were in his shoes, believe you me I'd do this every spare day I'd have lol.
If money wasn't an object, I would've travelled to like 25 different countries by now to fish.
A wonderful job by Trenton, great guy AF.
