I have religiously read MLB’s box scores every morning since I was 10. Initially it was to look at Mickey Mantle’s daily line but it has evolved and now the first thing I check, no matter what, is the Orioles box. Did shortstop J.J. Hardy make an error? The Sabino High School grad, a three-time Gold Glove winner, completed Baltimore’s season with just six errors. He did not commit an error between July 8 and September 16. Amazing. The ex-Sabercat, 34, has a chance to reach some career milestones before retiring; he has 1,433 hits and 184 home runs.
