What is a Grand Slam in baseball?
In baseball terminology, a grand slam is a home run hit when the bases are "loaded". Meaning that the home run is hit with runners on 1st, 2nd & 3rd base. The result is that 4 runs are scored. A home run normally occurs when a baseball is hit into the grandstands in fair territory. An "inside the park" home run occurs when the hitter can run all the way from home plate then around the bases and ends up back on home plate. It is not a home run if an error allows the hitter to run all the bases.

The shortest length around the bases is 360 feet, 90 feet between each of the three bases and home plate. When running out a home run, or any other hit, however, most players do not run in a straight line between the bases, so the actual distance the player runs around the bases would be slightly longer than the 360 feet.
