... form of a Gil McDougald line drive. Score pitched for five more seasons, but he was never the same. Like Smoky Joe Wood was never the same. Like Tony C was never the same.

Peace out homies. Six Two and Even!

Score died this past November after an illness at age 75. * * * ...

Kalas and Marty Brennaman were good friends.
