List of Major League Baseball career fielding errors as a left fielder leaders

Goose Goslin, the all-time leader in fielding errors as a left fielder.

In baseball statistics, an error is an act, in the judgment of the official scorer, of a fielder misplaying a ball in a manner that allows a batter or baserunner to advance one or more bases or allows an at bat to continue after the batter should have been put out.

In baseball, a left fielder (LF) is an outfielder who plays defense in left field. Left field is the area of the outfield to the left of a person standing at home plate and facing towards the pitcher's mound. In the numbering system used to record defensive plays, the left fielder is assigned the number 7.

Goose Goslin is the all-time leader in errors committed by a left fielder with 183 career. Lou Brock (168), Bobby Veach (142), Zack Wheat (141), Bob Johnson (121), Rickey Henderson (113), Ken Williams (108), and Charlie Jamieson (104) are the only other left fielders to commit over 100 career errors.
