I was too wrapped up in feeling bad for the kid that I didn't even think to watch the clip.

Clearly an error.

I'm only slightly embarrassed, though.

The Angels broadcasters blew it. I don't know what their reasoning was - maybe sentimentality for the kid.

Sorry, if 1B drops the ball, then he reached on error and it is not a hit. The scoring of an error is the correct call. FSogol Apr 2024 #1

See vid in the link below. 1b made a great catch, then tossed it to the pitcher who couldn't find the handle. unblock Apr 2024 #4

It is either an error on 1b (crappy throw) or on that pitcher (poor glove work). No matter who the blame is FSogol Apr 2024 #6

Sorry, that's an error. If he had hit the bag before the 1st baseman had dropped the ball... brush Apr 2024 #8

I didn't realize umpires jobs were to make fans feel good AZSkiffyGeek Apr 2024 #10

He didn't say a word about the umpires, and umpires have nothing to do with hit v. error scoring. rsdsharp Apr 2024 #12
