Text | The New York Standard says: “When a Red Stocking is given his base on called balls and is umpired around the rest of the way, the Boston scorers call it an “Earned run”.” Evening City Item May 16, 1872 [from Answers to Correspondents] An”earned run” is as follows:–A makes first base by a hit–B is put out–C, D and E make first base by good hits, and A gets in. The next two strikers are then given their bases by errors. Afterwards four more runs are made by good hits, but only one run is earned, because only one run was scored by base hits before three chances for outs had been offered. No run can be earned after three chances to put men out are offered off the pitching. New York Clipper May 18, 1872 |
