I HAD THE GAME ON THE RADIO THE NIGHT HERB GOT HURT. AS A 12 YEAR OLD , HERB AND THE ROCK WERE MY HEROS
I NEVER MET HERB IN PERSON, BUT I KNEW HIM QUITE WELL. I CAN STILL REMEMBER LISTENING TO HIM AND BOB NEAL IN THE MID-60S ON A LITTLE TRANSISTOR RADIO WITH AND EAR-PHONE UNDER MY BED COVERS LATE AT NIGHT CALLING GAMES OUT WEST SOMEWHERE. ALL THOSE YEARS AFTER, HE WAS THE VOICE THAT TALKED TO ME ABOUT MY BELOVED TRIBE. I DO MISS HIM.
I met Herb at Yankee Stadium after going to school with his daughter Judy in Aurora, Co in the early 80s. She arranged a meeting while he was there braodcasting a Yankee - Cleveland game. he was gracious and accomodating. I lost touch with Judy after a few years and tried to contact her when I heard of the tragedy. I hope you are well, Judy and my best to you and all the family.
I only met Herb Score once: Herb and his catcher, Roger Painter (my brother), visted me at Good Sam hospital in West Palm Beach, FL. when I was born in 1952! Herb Score enriched the lives of many people. May God bless and keep him and his family.
I learned only recently of Herb's death. I was a huge fan during the era when we used to debate who had the more overpowering fastball, Herb or Bob Turley.
I have nothing but fond memories of following Herb's too brief career and listening to him on Indians' broadcasts
As a HS visiting team member I stayed at the Scores for a few nights. I also followed his career with Cleveland. Superb pitcher & athelete. But what I remember the most, through hind-sight was what a loving family Herb had. Helen, Herb & their mother truly loved each other & shared it with others. Helen, Herb, their mother's and her buckwheat cakes. Good memories. May you rest in peace Herb. May we all receive God's Blessing's
I remember back to 1968 with Herb and Bob Neal on the radio. Every spring Herb's voice would remind me baseball was here and all was well. I believe he never got the credit he deseves as a broadcaster, but us in Ohio knowns what a treaure we had.
Herb Score and Rocky Colavito were my boyhood idols. I lost interest in the Indians after Herb's trade to Chicago, Rocky's trade to Detroit for Harvey Kuenn, and the manager trade involving Joe Gordon and Jimmy Dykes. I never knew of Herb's passing, But I grieve for him because of him being a boyhood idol of mine. Would have liked to have gotten to know him.
I truely cant believe it has been a year. I am Herb Score's oldest grandaughter and i just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have shared your stories and prays about my grandpa. I know he was a great guy but its really nice to hear about how he touched so many people. I love sittting and reading all of the funny memories of my grandpa. thank you again to everyone who has prayed for my family i know my grandma really appreciates it.
