  1. Is the player with the most errors for the season awarded the “Lead Glove Award”? If there are any subjective awards, I’d be more than happy to provide my expertise; I’m quite opinionated!

    • Actually, I never thought about a year-end ‘most errors’ award. I could call it the Shindle-Long Memorial Trophy, in honor of the two guys tied for the ML record for errors in a season, with 122 (and that would be an 1800s-established record, by the way). And I’ll definitely check with you and your opinion if I have any tough calls to make concerning subjective awards.
