Thanks, Jyrk!
Sorry I haven't been here much, I'll stop by a lot more often now with the new Trivia season starting.

Jyrk, I will complain! You always use the timeline "after 1900" in your questions, so I found Charles Smith but how I belived the timeline "after 1900" was active I put him on garbbard. In my opinion you should rethink it.
Thanks, Rrrjerdy

I think unless he implicitly states it in the question then all years are in play.

Charles "Pop" Smith committed 89 errors with only 27 RBI in 1889 while playing 2B for the Cincinnatti Reds.
There were some pretty good guesses-
Joe Sullivan of the 1893 National League's Washington Senators posted 102 errors & 64 RBIs. He played in 128 of the teams 129 games that season....and he played all 128 games at Shortstop.
Johnny Gochnauer - 1903, 98 Es, 48 RBIs
I think its worng, my answer gave Herman long, in 1889 he played over 90% of his teams game and scored only 60 RBIS whilst committing 123 errors - a gap of +63, more than 62 ofthe answer

Because of poor record keeping prior to 1900, it's hard to say exactly how many Long had, but I looked up some of the reference sites that I use, and Baseball Reference has him credited with 122 errors (117 at SS, 5 at 2B) and 60 RBI. That would tie him with Smith .I'll give you the points as well.

Pop Smith's year of many errors was 1880

Yes, you are correct. Just a typo.

This is really just me nitpicking to be a jyrk but Yount played 17 games in 1976 AFTER his september 16th birthday. So the number of games is 398. :-)

The answer remains the same. My source just had the wrong total.
