	Error (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 baserunner to reach one or more additional bases, when such an advance should have been prevented given ordinary effort by the fielder.
		An error is also charged when a fielder fails to catch a foul fly ball that could have been caught with ordinary effort, thus prolonging the batter's plate appearance.
		An error does not count as a hit and the batter will not be credited for any RBIs when runs are scored—unless, in the scorer's judgment, the batter would have reached first base safely but one or more of the additional base(s) reached was the result of the fielder's mistake.

		Baseball is a team sport, in which a fist-sized ball is thrown by a player called a pitcher and hit with a bat.
		Baseball is played between two teams of nine players each on a baseball field, usually under the authority of one or more officials, called umpires.
		Baseball history is full of heroes and goats—men who in the heat of the moment distinguished themselves with a timely hit or catch, or an untimely strikeout or error.

	error (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		An error is a deviation from a correct value caused by a malfunction in a system or a functional unit.
		Errors in this sense are not judged as "good" or "bad", although an error may make an organism either more or less adapted to its environment.
		An error is judged by the official scorer when a runner advances a base because of a fielding mistake, and perfect play would have prevented the advancement, and the mistake was physical.

	Baseball statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Traditionally, statistics like batting average for batters (the number of hits divided by the number of at bats) and earned run average (approximately the number of runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings) have governed the statistical world of baseball.
		However, the advent of sabermetrics brought an onslaught of new statistics that better gauge a player's performance and contributions to his team from year to year.
		Comprehensive, historical baseball statistics were difficult for the average fan to access until 1951, when researcher Hy Turkin published the "The Complete Encyclopedia of Baseball".

	Hit (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball statistics, a hit (denoted by H), sometimes called a base hit, is credited to a batter when the batter safely reaches first base after hitting the ball into fair territory, without the benefit of an error or a fielder's choice.
		The hit is scored the moment the batter reaches first base safely - if the runner is put out while attempting a double or triple on the same play, he still gets credit for the hit.
		In cases where a ball takes an unusual bounce, and a fielder might have a chance of throwing the runner out but does not, it is at the official scorer's discretion whether the batter is given a hit or instead reached on an error.

	Baseball Formulas for Defensive Baseball Stats by Baseball Almanac
		The Defensive Average statistics is nice because it is analogous to a fielder's Batting Average Against in that it specifically measures times reached per opportunity.
		The downfall to this statistic is that it almost rewards fielders who choose not to attempt a difficult play, thereby avoiding the error, to those that try to turn every hit ball into a possible out.
		Positions can only be successfully compared to the same position on the field when using this statistic and early in the season numbers are often skewed as players chances are not yet normalized.

	A game of numbers
		By statistics, I don't mean what most fans seem to think this means, namely collecting and tabulating game stats, but the use of sophisticated mathematical techniques to examine players' performance and the effectiveness of various plays in depth, to help clubs make hiring and salary decisions, and to decide on game strategy.
		As a reserve infielder on the university's baseball team, he "couldn't run, couldn't throw and had no power," he later told reporters, and as a wide receiver for the football team he had quickly come to realize that "the sideline was my friend." DePodesta could do one thing well, though, and that was enough: Mathematics.
		Neft soon realized that the existing records were so error ridden, he would have to recreate all of baseball's statistical record from the very beginnings of the game.

	Ernie Banks
		Early in his career, his fielding was erratic - he committed error totals of 34, 22, 25 and a league-leading 32 between 1955 and 1958 but he worked diligently to become a steady fielder.
		In 1959, he cut the number of errors down to 12 (then a record for shortstops), and led NL shortstops in fielding in both 1960 (he won a Gold Glove) and 1961.
		He won the National League MVP in consecutive years (1958 and 1959), and led the National League in home runs twice (1958 and 1960) and in RBI twice (1958 and 1959).

	Wikinfo \| Error
		An error is a bound on the precision and accuracy of the result of a measurement.
		Statistical error is caused by random (and therefore inherently unpredictable) fluctuations in the measurement apparatus, whereas systematic error is caused by an unknown but nonrandom fluctuation.

		As soon as the ball is hit, the fielder must judge the strength and angle of the drive and anticipate the point of return; Carl Yastrzemski became a master at this, and threw out dozens of baserunners trying to stretch Fenway singles into doubles.
		The error index for infielders is also among the highest in the majors.
