I grew up a Cleveland fan in my youth in the fifties. Score and Colavito were the heros of this 13 year old boy. I lived in central New York and could pick up Yankees games out of New York.

I was listening to the game on 5/7/57. I was drifting off to sleep when Score was hit. I was crushed by the broadcast. I had trouble sleeping and woke early to get the newspaper (remember them?). I could not believe what had happened. The pictures with the bandages over his eye (in my weekly Sporting News) were horrific for me.

This injury, and the hiring of Trader Lane as GM, destroyed the Cleveland team for almost 40 years.

Whenever I see anything about Herb Score, I immediately think of the cover of the greatest book ever (No, not 'Ulysses'!!)…

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

It would have been nice to see what Score would have done had he remained healthy.

"Cleveland Indians (1955–1959)..."

Thanks for that retrospective, Bob. Herb was beloved by Cleveland fans, not only for his brief, brilliant pitching career, but for the 34 years he spent as an Indians broadcaster. I'll never forget his call of the infamous flyball that bounced off of Jose Canseco's skull and over the fence at old Muni Stadium in Cleveland back in the late '80's - hysterical. I'm wondering what the significance of April 21 could be, if any. His first appearance with the team was on the 15th, as far as I know.
