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. It normally does not count as a hit and the batter will not be credited for any RBIs (if runs are scored) - unless, in the scorer's judgement, 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 - in that case the play will be scored both as a hit (for whatever number of bases the fielders should have limited the batter to) and an error.

I need to know, are you a baseball fan that actually owns a copy of the rule book, or did you do a google?
