Evan Gattis hit 11 triples in 2015 for the Astros. It's one of the most amazing outlier seasons in MLB history, if not all sports. The Evan Gattis triples season may already be known to you already, as well as the other interesting aspects of Gattis' story. Gattis quit baseball and was an Evan Gattis janitor as a young adult, but was drafted by the Evan Gattis Braves and became a rookie sensation. He joined the 2015 Houston Astros and hit 11 triples for them in a season despite his nickname, El Oso Blanco. We don't exactly think of speed when we think of a white bear.

In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, we'll also touch on the Houston Astros Cheating Scandal. The 2017 Astros World Series run isn't accepted by all as legitimate. Evan Gattis, of course, played for that Astros team. In fact, he was part of that now infamous Evan Gattis Danny Farquhar moment. Hopefully we can reconcile Gattis' legacy with some of his wonderful accomplishments, eleven triples in a season being just one of them.
