Herb Score Has Died

November 11th, 2008 · View Comments

Cleveland Indians pitching and broadcasting legend Herb Score has died.  He was 75.  He, more than anyone else, was the voice of the Indians for me growing up.  He will be missed by all Indians fans. 

I tuned in the Indians’ radio broadcast on WTAM in the 9th inning of the 7th game of the 1997 World Series because I wanted to hear Herb Score call an Indians World Series victory.  I lived in an apartment in downtown Columbus and got scratchy reception at best.  We all know what happened next.  It still makes me sad that I never got to hear Herb make the call that the Indians had won the World Series after all he suffered as the voice of mediocre and awful teams through most of his career calling Tribe games.
