Unlike most pitchers who hit triples, CJ Wilson’s was just a solid piece of fundamental batmanship. It wasn’t a pop fly that was lost in the lights, or a bloop single that was turned into extra bases by some atrocious defense, it was just a hard struck liner to the gap that found its way to Houston’s grassy knoll.
Wilson didn’t even seem to break a sweat while running to third base, gliding like a gazelle (which makes sense because of the whole antlers thing), before slowing up and getting in there standing.

Despite his positional handicap, Wilson still beat Jack Cust and Chipper Jones, the only other players I have put the stopwatch to, in his time to third base. While apparently jogging.
The Astros were so embarrassed they gave the game away, letting the Rangers win 7-3. Video highlight, pointed out by @norunsupport, here.
