More about Herb Score

Here's a reprint of a 1957 story about the line drive that struck him in the face, ending his days as one of the most dominant pitchers ever.

A (video) look back at Herb Score's career

This is from MLB.com.
It's less than a minute and a half long, but says a lot.
I never saw video of him pitching, but this piece shows what his throwing motion looked like. There's no video or audio of him as a broadcaster, however.

Herb Score dies at 75

I'd love to write a really long essay about Herb Score dying. I grew up listening to him broadcast Cleveland Indians baseball games. Even today, when I hear recordings of him calling a game I either get chills or I get a little misty eyed. I also am sad that I never got a chance to see him play.
I do, however, have a baseball autographed by Score. I got it during an auction at one of the Indians winter press tours a few years ago. I won the auction for the ball with a bid of $45, which ultimately went to support Fostoria Junior Baseball. I suppose that's rather suitable. I'd like to think he'd have approved. I wish I had been there when he signed it, but nonetheless, I am very happy to have something he signed.
But, no matter what I write here, and no matter how long it was, it would really boil down to one thing: I was sad when he retired as a broadcaster and I am even sadder today. It makes me very sad to know that one of my heroes, and a man who brought so much enjoyment into my life, is no longer with us.

Interested in swearing?

He is, too.

(I thought I'd go for a trifecta: groins, nudity and now swearing. How about that?)

Oh, and she draws comic books, too

I don't have much to say here, but I really think Tara McPherson is an incredible artist. I have seen her work in a few different comics, to include "Fables," and I am always instantly captivated.
That's really all I have to say. Just enjoy the pretty pics I have linked to.
(By the way, Dark Horse Comics is releasing a new book of her art. Take a look here.)

Trauma to the Groin

Here's a little YouTube video of a funny Haywood Banks song. He was all over Ohio and Kentucky this fall. Too bad I moved to Virginia.

Is anyone surprised?

Are ya?
