Text | Two gentlemen who had a bet asked yesterday of the scorer: “When Hallinan muffed White's fly, but picked it up soon enough to force Geer out at second by throwing it to McClellan, did you score an error to Hallinan?” The answer was, “No: because it was not a play which lost anything to the side; if the ball was caught, there was Geer on first and one out; if it was not caught, there was Shite on first and one out. Unless the side lost something by the play—unless it lost at least one base—why should an error be charged? |
