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.

Ok, how about Max Surkont striking out 8 consecutive batters? It stood until it was broken by Tom Seaver in 1970 with 10 in a row.
I’m not sure how Gomer fits though. I don’t have a card of him or Gomer Pyle either.

I’m unable to rapidly confirm the Surkont record, but will assume it is true, but the Surkont/Seaver answer, although correct, is not the one I’m looking for.

Stay tuned my next post will reveal my answer and I don’t think it is weird or obscure.

Until then consider the following clue: 168
