Yogi Berra: Baseball Memories

The Toughest Pitcher

The Toughest Pitcher

Toughest pitcher you ever faced? "Herb Score," Yogi says. "Herb Score was pretty darn good before he got hurt." If the name doesn't ring a bell, back in the 1950s, Score was an overpowering southpaw for the Indians. In his first year in the bigs, 1955, he struck out 245, a rookie record that stood until 1984.
