RIP, Herb Score.
Score was a fireballer for the Cleveland Indians in the mid-fifties. After winning 36 games in his first two seasons, his career was essentially ended when he was stuck in the right eye by a line drive off the bat of Gil McDougald. He was only 23 at the time. He did eventually come back, and pitched for several more years, but the brilliance of his first two years never returned.
