Is There a Doctor in the House (T in S Late Edition)

May 7, 1957

On May 7, 1957 2-year MLB southpaw Herb Score was on the mound for the Cleveland Indians. Gil McDougald was at the plate for the New York Yankees. A swing and a line drive to Score's eye, fracturing his nose and created severe hemorrhaging left the eye doctor to state it would several days before any surgery could take place.

In his two years as a pitcher, Score had 245 strikeouts in 1955 and 263 in 1956. After the accident, Score would win 17 games over a five year period with both the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox. He would broadcast for the Indians for more than 30 years after.
