lost their entire starting outfield at some point in the season. besides resiliency, they also have great pitching and a manager freddie gonzalez that makes decisions that don't blow up in his face. at least not yet. >> okay. one of their amazing players named evan gatis, he once quit the game. he worked odd jobs. he lived in his van. he struggled with depression. now he's a key player in the season. you spoke not long ago with him and spoke about the quirky habits he had about not wearing batting gloves. here's what he told you. >> no batting gloves. my mom says that's because i would have lost them. i never liked batting gloves. i always like to feel the bat. one of my managers coming up in the minors put me into pinch hit. the only time before he said you didn't take practice swings. he was yelling at me and stuff.
