Historical League FLD% -

1901: .942
1902: .949
1903: .949
1904: .954

In 2006 the league FLD% was .983.

In 2006 per 1000 chances there were 17 errors. In 1902 per 1000 chances there were 51 errors.

So yes, Errors were much more frequent in the DeadBall Era than they are today. In the era_stats.txt file there is a column called FLD% with the yearly historical FLD%. Each season OOTP calculates an Errors modifier based on the fielding results of the previous season so that it can hit the target FLD% for the current season. You will usually end up with +/- .001 of the actual historical league fielding percentage each season.
