I'm still puzzled as to why my mule team plants grew this way. This is a pic of the worst one. It's a little hard to tell by the pic what is happening. I can't zoom too close with my camera. The branches are growing downward corkscrew shaped. Most of the other mule team have a slight case, but this one is really bad. There is some new growth on top that looks like it will grow out normal. I have about 120 tomato plants in my greenhouse and this is the only variety doing it. I thought for sure that it was environmental stress, but conditions have been almost perfect the last few weeks. Another thing is that the corkscrew shape seems to be the worst in the middle of the plant. The lower branches grew out fine.
