Evan Gattis shatters all preconceived notions of strength by hitting a ONE-HANDED HOME RUN

Uh, did Evan Gattis hit a one-handed home run?

There are many ways to measure strength: A traditional bench press, say, or those competitions where people try to pull a 16-wheeler by a rope.

There's a question we all have to ask ourselves, right now: Did Evan Gattis hit a one-handed home run?

I don't know what to believe anymore -- all of our preconceived notions of strength no longer apply on this Earth. Gattis has done away with them.
