Of all the sports, radio announcers in baseball I think connect best to the audience. Whether its because of the game, the length of the game, or something else there's nothing quite like your hometown radio announcer for baseball. Herb Score, who called Indians games for over 34 years, passed away today. Score was also an accomplished pitcher, whose talents were unfortunately cut short due to a line drive. Tris Speaker once called him a sure Hall of Famer. While the injury may have shortened his playing career, it didn't keep him from a Hall of Fame announcing career. I have many memories of listening to him somehow make the 1980s Indians seem enjoyable. Which believe me took incredible talent.
