If you don't mind importing the sklearn
library, I would recommend the method talked on this blog.
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import preprocessing
data = {'score': [234,24,14,27,-74,46,73,-18,59,160]}
cols = data.columns
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df
min_max_scaler = preprocessing.MinMaxScaler()
np_scaled = min_max_scaler.fit_transform(df)
df_normalized = pd.DataFrame(np_scaled, columns = cols)
df_normalized
