why is a passed ball not an error?

I've never figured that one out.
Webb's run vs is totally unearned.
Will count against the number just the same.

good stuff, BD--thanks.
DOES say that passed balls can be forgiven on a pitcher's era, depending on the circumstances.
I went and checked the boxscore and yes, indeed, of the 3 allowed by Webb only 2 were earned. This is despite no error on the board for 'Zona.
