That is what you are supposed to do- step on home plate to get the credit for the home run. You have to touch all of the bases aftet you hit the home run.
Garrett Anderson of the LA Angels
Barry Bonds hit 10 of his career 762 home runs as a designated hitter during interleague play.
Yes. Even when hitting a home run, the hitter must touch all three bases and home plate for the home run to count. Should the batter miss one of the bases when rounding them and the other team notices, the other team can appeal and have the hitter called out at the base the hitter failed to touch.
Roger Maris, of course, led the Yankees (and the Major Leagues) in home runs in 1961 with 61 home runs..second place on the Yankees was Mickey Mantle with 54 homers. The third leading home run hitter on the Yankees that season was first baseman, Bill Skowron with 28 round trippers.
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.
