This week, Origins Host Ben Smith takes you through the origins of the Home Run.

Around the 1870's, with the Civil War in the not so distant past, the game of Baseball began to take shape as a sport that could be played professionally.

One man would go on to hit the first over the fence home run in 1876, but it was who this man was and what he did in his career that would make him both an unlikely person to the 1st man to knock it over the fence, but, had the skills on the diamond that few could match.

Just who was the first to hit the home run? Why is this man not known in baseball circles to this very day? All that will be answered, and more.
