Early baseball and ground-rule origins

One of the most dramatic events in sports is the home run. In a single instant, leads can change hands and games can be won or lost. 

Yet the home run hasn’t always been what it is today. The rules surrounding home runs have changed, in some cases dramatically.

Perhaps the biggest change has been the strategy surrounding home runs. Advanced statistical analysis has changed the approach to home runs so much that the game wouldn’t be recgonizable from someone in the late 19th century. 

Learn more about home runs, how they have changed, and how they have influenced the game of baseball on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
