Not 100% certain, but I\’m going with Butch Hobson and the bone chips in his throwing elbow.

I’m gonna go with Dave Hollins, though I don’t think that’s right.

This is a ridiculously hard question. I’d settle for an estimate of the number of errors the record-holder committed. Closest guess gets an UmpBump sticker?

Okay, how about something totally ludicrous… say, 76 errors in one season!

Charlie Hickman, 91 in 1900.

Is that cheating? Nobody actually knew this, right?

Technically, it is cheating, but I’m glad to be done w/ that question. Not even the Shwab could have gotten that.

That is cheating, meech. I had decided to post the answer in a week’s time if no one got it, but since no one was really guessing, anyway, I guess it doesn’t matter!
91 errors! And that was before the 162 game season!
