The Los Angeles Angels saw 3,000 or so fans arrive early for Sunday's exhibition game to celebrate Mike Trout's new 12-year, $426.5 million contract.

Trout arrived at the podium amid a chorus of "MVP" chants.

"Whew!" he exclaimed at one point, attempting to gather himself. "I'm losing it."

"Spending your whole career with one team I think is pretty cool," Trout said.

"That was one thing on my mind, talking to people -- if I did leave in two years, maybe looking back I would've probably regretted it a little bit, because I love it here."
