I still have never seen an inside-the-park home run that should not have been scored an error.
I've seen one. Bill Buckner's last career homer was an inside the park job. The right fielder, attempting to catch the ball, fell over the fence and into the seats!
About a week later, Buckner finished rounding the bases for an inside the park homer.
I will concede, however, that most ITP home runs should be errors.
