His woes -- some health-related, mostly mechanical -- since that 2005 peak merely underscore his astounding return to dominance.
Herb Score wasn't aloof, even though his stature as the voice of the Indians might have made that a quality in other men. But in this Northeast Ohio town, Score spoke like the man next door to a generation of Tribe loyalists who prefer their baseball broadcasters have no pretensions.
