    I'm pretty sure he set (or at least tied) an Astros record for the most strikeouts by a batter in a single game last night. One more at bat and he would have had a chance at tying the all-time record. So close!

    Congratulations, Hank. You're in rare company now.

    He is tied with JD Martinez, Preston Wilson, and I believe there was one more.

    Probably a quite few players with the Golden Sombrero in a game... It would be more interesting if it spanned multiple games :eek:

    The only miracle is that Carter is not on the list.

    Did the catcher still bounce the throw to 2B in his honor?

    My son had catchers workouts today. His coach told him when he was home watching the Astros and Conger was catching to ignore everything he did.

    Cool. The catcher position has now struck out 7 straight times for the Astros. Castro keeping the tradition alive!
