Hit Or Hit? by Havelock Hewes

   At the risk of sounding self-serving, the official scoring for the team I pitched against on Sunday seemed not to understand the concept of "error."  It is difficult enough for pitchers to live with the on-field consequences of mistakes behind them.  In the case of the game I pitched Sunday there were about five of them.  At the end of the game I expected that at least two of these would end up as E's.  I was wrong.  According to whoever(s) scored the game we played a flawless game.  For a pitcher, the experience is akin to being the bloodied victim of a mugging who appears at the police station only to be told it never happened.
