Evan Gattis: A fundamental part of a championship core. A masher of baseballs. Always real. A true Astro.
Chances are, 2018 was his last season as an Astro. He will be missed.
A True Astro
Evan Gattis is a true Astro because the Astros are humble. The Astros core are men who, more than most players, had to overcome. Whether it be the extreme poverty of Carlos Correa’s childhood in Velasquez, Puerto Rico, similar privation plus an extremely diminutive stature in the case of Jose Altuve, or the overcoming of stuttering in the case of George Springer, the spirit of the Astros springs from deep desire born of a joy that has known the depths.
