Timeline

1986

James Evan Gattis (born August 18, 1986) is an American former professional baseball designated hitter and catcher.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros.

Gattis has also earned the nickname of El Oso Blanco or The White Bear, due to his raw power capabilities when playing for the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.

While with Atlanta, he played catcher and occasionally left field.

Gattis was a premier amateur baseball player in the Dallas–Fort Worth area through high school.

However, anxiety and substance abuse led him to abandon his scholarship to Texas A&M University.

Gattis was born in Dallas, Texas on August 18, 1986.

He was raised in Farmers Branch, Texas, and began playing baseball at the age of six.

His parents divorced when he was eight years old, and at the age of 15, he moved to Forney, Texas.

Busy playing baseball, Gattis never processed his parents' divorce.

Gattis played for the Dallas Tigers, one of the premier amateur teams in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.

Clayton Kershaw, Corey Kluber and Yovani Gallardo were some of his teammates.

He played on traveling All-Star teams with Austin Jackson and in the Junior Olympic Games with Billy Butler, Homer Bailey, and Justin Upton.

He attended high schools in the Dallas area, including R. L. Turner High School, Forney High School, and Bishop Lynch High School, in order to play for specific coaches.

2004

Projected as a potential draft pick in the first eight rounds of the 2004 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft, Gattis instead intimated that he intended to attend college and play college baseball.

While Rice University offered him a scholarship to play first base, he accepted an offer from Texas A&M University, who wanted him to play as their catcher.

However, the divorce of his parents and anxiety derived from the fear of failing at college baseball led Gattis to abuse alcohol and marijuana.

He went undrafted in the 2004 draft.

Instead of going to college, Gattis' mother took him to a drug rehabilitation facility, where he had a 30-day inpatient stay.

He then went to Prescott, Arizona, where he had three months of outpatient therapy while living in a halfway house.

Gattis enrolled at Seminole State College, a junior college in Seminole, Oklahoma, after receiving a recruitment phone call from the team's coach.

2006

Gattis redshirted as a freshman and played for half a season in 2006.

He injured his knee at Seminole State, which led to him quitting baseball and dropping out of college.

Gattis' first job after quitting baseball was as a parking valet in Dallas.

He then visited his sister in Boulder, Colorado, and decided to reside there.

He sold his truck and worked in a pizza parlor and as a ski-lift operator at the Eldora Mountain Resort.

2007

Depressed, unable to sleep, and even contemplating to take his own life, Gattis was admitted to an inpatient psychiatric ward for three days in the summer of 2007, where he was diagnosed with clinical depression and an anxiety disorder.

He was released into the care of his father.

After living in Colorado for seven months, Gattis then moved to Dallas with his brother, where they worked as janitors for Datamatics Global Services.

He met a New Age spiritual advisor there, and on her advice, he followed her to Taos, New Mexico.

There, he lived in a hostel and worked at a ski resort.

Three months later, he moved to California to find more spiritual gurus.

Gattis also moved to Wyoming, where he worked at Yellowstone National Park.

2010

After wandering around the Western United States for four years, he returned to baseball, and was drafted by the Braves in 2010.
