Error (baseball statistics)
From Wikinfo
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.
