	Wasn't it Gorman Thomas, who in '75 or '76 struck out 10 times
in a row, only to break the streak by grounding into a double play?
I think he tied somebody else, maybe Reggie.
	Anyway, manager Del Crandall took Gorman out to lunch for ending
his streak, and Gorman requested that he at least be given an asterisk after
his name for the way he broke the string.
