So if it's an error, it's not a hit, and if it's not a hit then how can it be a home run, since a home run is a hit?
Reading comprehension folks. I just posted the scoring rule. 10.06(e ). I went back and highlighted a key word. A fair ball went out of the playing field in flight. Criteria met. It's a HR. It's a hit. Ask Canseco.
