Not sure what to say?

Godspeed Herb, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

working down in Columbus I would drive home on Friday nights and somehow started to listen on the way back to Cleveland. Herb talked me home. I became a fan of Herb he was truly something special. This recognition is a little late but still wanted to share that those drives listening to Herb raise me up. God bless you Herb

I was 12 years old and was in bed,listening on my transistor radio to the Yankees playing the Indians when Gil McDougald hit a ball that hit Herb Score in the eye. I prayed for him, but he was never the same again. He was a great left handed pitcher, who would have been a hall of fame pitcher if not for the injury. God bless him and his family, and may he rest in peace.

Herb Score was my childhood hero. I met him in the broadcast booth at Municipal Stadium and he autographed a ball for me. It still sets in my office at home. I worshipped the guy! I'll meet him someday in heaven. Thanks for the Memories

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.
