Error
What is the most amount of errors committed by a team in a game in which their pitcher throws a no-hitter? (Baseball.) 71.146.0.138 (talk) 05:06, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If you're referring to the major leagues, "According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the most errors in a major-league no-hitter are four, committed by the Philadelphia Phillies in Chick Fraser's no-no Sept. 18, 1903." —Deor (talk) 08:55, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Typical of the Phillies. μηδείς (talk) 15:57, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It came against the Cubs, who weren't exactly setting the league on fire either. Kinda like now... for both teams. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:39, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, at that time they were. During the first decade of the 20th century, the Cubs were the hottest team in baseball, appearing in 4 and winning 2 World Series in the decade (as much or more than any other team).  The Tinkers to Evers to Chance infield is considered one of the best in the history of the game, and they dominated the sport at the time.  The Phillies, on the other hand, did really suck then, and would continue to suck for 70 more years.  -- Jayron  32  17:09, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That is true. I exaggerate. Those Cubs (who were also still being called Colts) were a young team building toward some real glory. The Phillies, meanwhile, were off to a good start building toward being the first MLB team to achieve 10,000 losses. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:01, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
