How About This?

How about this for your random and obscure fact of the day? In 1876, the Athletics, Reds, Louisville Grays and New York Mutuals all had more errors than runs scored.

With modern groundskeeping, better playing fields and better equipment, things are very different in today's game of baseball. In 2009, the only team that had more errors than runs scored was the New York Mets.

Oh, my mistake. Even the Mets managed to squeeze past the .500 mark with 674 more runs scored than errors committed.

What can I say? It's a different game!
