Okay, so today I was trying to solve this crossword, and I got totally stuck on this one clue: “MLB star Trout.” I’m a bit of a baseball fan, but not a huge one, so my mind was drawing a blank. I mean, I know Trout is a big name, but the crossword wasn’t giving me much to work with in terms of letter count or anything.
Brainstorm Time
First, I racked my brain trying to think of anything related to Trout. Nicknames? Positions? Teams he’s played for? Nothing was clicking. All that kept coming to mind was fish, and that clearly wasn’t going to help.
Hitting the Web
Next, I decided to do some Googling. I figured, “Okay, let’s see what comes up if I just type in ‘MLB Trout’.” And boom, right there in the search results, I started seeing stuff about “Mike Trout.” So, that was one possibility.
- Tried “Mike”: Nope, didn’t fit the crossword spaces.
Refining the Search
I added “crossword clue” in google, and, I scrolled through some crossword solver sites, fan forums, and, of course, the official MLB site.
I finally saw the related articles, all said about “Mike”, “ANGELS”.
The Solution
After checking, the word “ANGELS” fit perfectly. Finally!
So, yeah, that’s how I finally cracked the “MLB star Trout” clue. Took a bit of digging, but we got there!
