Well played and true, but not the answer I had in mind.

He went 0 for 70 in 1962, which is a record. I think he is the one that got a standing ovation for hitting a foul ball by the fans at Wrigley when he was a Cub.

Not sure if he set a record or if it was topped in 1970 but I know he had a pretty horrific inning in 1953. He also has "Gomer" in his name:

Wayne Simpson is a character in Gomer Pyle and Wayne Simpson the pitcher had a terrific rookie season in 1970. But I have been unable to come up with the connection to 1953.

Nice try, but Gromek, as an “anagram” gomer (with a silent k), may not have set a record in any year.
