Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index In baseball, an error is the act, in the judgment of the official scorer, of a fielder misplaying a ball in a manner that allows a batter or runner to reach one or more additional bases, on a play that would normally be completed successfully with ordinary effort. A passed ball or a wild pitch is not considered an error. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
