For example, Milwaukee’s scorer has lived here for years. I imagine it’s the same with a lot of teams.

I’d rather see more of a fifth umpire, kind of like the instant replay official in the NFL. At the same time, though, it’s not a huge deal because errors aren’t all that telling anyway. A guy can make a great diving play and then throw the ball away and receive an error, yet an outfielder can misjudge a fly ball and have it go over his had and it will be scored a hit.
