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.
How many points is one home run worth in baseball?
In baseball, a home run is a base hit in which the batter is able to circle all the bases, ending at home plate and scoring a run himself (along with a run scored by each runner who was already on base), with no errors by the defensive team on the play which result in the batter advancing for extra bases. Today, the feat is typically achieved by hitting the ball over the outfield fence, resulting in an automatic home run.
A baseball player hits a home run how far is it to run around the perimeter of the baseball diamond?
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.
