Does anybody know what the record is for the most errors committed by a team in a season? Actually, I'd like records for pre and post WWII. Thanks in advance.

Pre WW II : 1883 Philadelphia (NL), 639.
Post WW II : 1945 Philadelphia (NL), 234 or 1946 Washington (AL), 211.
Last time a team had 200 or errors was the 1963 NY Mets with 208.« But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game... »Comment

Detroit holds the 20th century record for most errors committed. They had 401 in 1901.Comment

I tink it might be relevant to add that, as time goes by, the number of errors decreases substantially. For instance, during the 2000-2005 decade, so far, the team with the most errors is San Diego in 2001, with 145.« But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game... »Comment

Yeah, well I was doing a Retrosheet project and happened to notice that the Dodgers made 179 errors in 1986 and that number struck me as particularly high, especially for recent times. I remembered that in '03, I believe, the sports pages in NYC were constantly berating the Mets (and rightly so) for their absolutely atrocious defense. I remembered that they finished the season with between 135-139 errors or so. When I noticed that the Dodgers made 40 more than that in '86, I thought to myself that has to be at least somewhat close to the modern record.
I wonder what was most errors an above .500 team made since like the 70's or so.THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT COME WITH A SCORECARD

Question about this: which team led the Major Leagues in errors in the modern baseball era? (1970s to present day) I don't know this as a fact, but I knew a couple people that made FOUR errors in ONE inning...Comment

Thanks a lot, this one was just pure curiosity.Originally posted by Chicoutimi CPThe 1971 National League West Division champions, the San Francisco Giants, with 177 errors.
That's pretty incredible, they did have some potent offense that year though and were able to squak out the division by one game.THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT COME WITH A SCORECARD
