I offer condolences to his family, and friends. Many a night, I feel asleep listening to that little 9 volt AM radio. Very nice write up about Herb, and I appreciate having read it today.

I didn't know they still had a team. It's not called the Braves anymore though. My dad used to take me to Braves games in the 50s. I remember Herb Score. He had a fastball that nobody could hit but had trouble gitting it across the plate. More than a few times he would throw one so high and fast it would stick in the grandstand screen. He was hell on catchers. They had to add more padding to their mitt and he still hurt them. I didn't follow him much after he went to the Indians. I did remember him gitting hit in the face but didn't know he went on to announce. Cleveland scout Cy Slapnicka brought him up up here from FL. in 51 after his junior year in high school to hide him from other major league scouts. I'm sure the Brainerd Daily Dispatch web site has other info on him. Gordy Coleman played for the Braves in 51 & 52 and played for the Reds 60-67.

Hammy is great, but the Indians radio team has never been the same since Score left.

And his departure led to six months of purgatory when Davie Nelson entered the booth…

It's sad how many pitchers get beaned in the head and don't seem to recover from it fully. And who can blame them? I often wonder why pitchers don't wear a Schnozzeroo, like Rip Hamilton. Sure, the concussive force of the baseball would still break something, but at least it wouldn't hit you right in the eye. That last quote is priceless. Great story Joe.
