Hall of Famer Johnny Mize bested Gattis twice while with the St. Louis Cardinals, delivering 16 triples without a stolen base in 1938 and 14 triples without a theft the next season. And Dale Long of the Pittsburgh Pirates registered 13 triples without a stolen base in 1955.
Five players -- Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley, Goody Rosen, Chuck Dressen, Cecil Travis and Cliff Bolton -- all managed to tie Gattis with 11 triples and no stolen bases, but all of those players accomplished the feat between 1926-40. Gattis, who had just one triple before this year, is a modern outlier.
