August 1965:
An early August game at Detroit did provide a tantalizing glimpse though of the potential of Ruben "Streak" Souffront. In an 11-2 drubbing of the Falcons, not only did Souffront go 2 for 4 with 3 runs scored, 1 driven in, and 2 walks in the game, but in the top of the 3rd inning he gave ample of evidence of the true meaning behind his nickname. After singling his way on he stole second, and then after being moved to third base by a Pablo Gonzalez single, Souffront took the Falcons completely by surprise by stealing home. Streak indeed!
