The origin of the Sporting term 'Home run'
2 Answers
I recently heard a trivia question:
Q: What sport used the term 'Home run' long before baseball?
A: Cricket
I have never heard this before and had to verify this. Having searched on the internet for the origin, I am none the wiser. Some sites confirm this and some other dismiss the fact as false. Can anyone shed any light on the origin of this term? If so please provide a source of reference so I can pass this on to the compilers of this trivia question.
Thanks
