Score burst onto the scene as a 21-year-old rookie with the Cleveland Indians in 1955, winning 16 games and leading the AL with 245 strikeouts. He won 20 the next year with 263 K's, but his career was forever altered when he was struck in the face by a Gil McDuglad line drive in May 1957. Arm injuries soon followed. He won just 19 games the rest of his career and never made more than 25 starts in a season and only once did he top 80 strikeouts before his career ended in 1962.
