GIF: Evan Gattis gets first career stolen base, then it's taken away

The 230-pound El Oso Blanco has his first major league stolen base. Sure, it took Travis d'Arnaud losing sight of a Carlos Torres pitch for him to do, and he still almost got thrown out, but it counts.

That's a big man barreling down, so kudos to Daniel Murphy for standing anywhere near second base.

Congratulations, Evan Gattis. We'd selfishly ask to see more of this, but Gattis was just four-for-10 on the bases in his minor league career, so perhaps it's best left as a rarity.

UPDATE: The official scorer ruled it a passed ball a few minutes later. So Gattis still sits at zero stolen bases, but they can never take the highlight away from us.
