	Home run - BaseballWiki
		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 for each runner who was already on base), with no errors on the play that results in the batter achieving extra bases.
		Home runs are among the most popular aspects of baseball, and the biggest (and best-paid) stars are often the players who hit the most of them.
		A grand slam home run occurs when the bases are "loaded" (that is, there are base runners standing at first, second, and third base) and the batter hits a home run.

		Home runs are really among the most popular aspects of baseball, and the biggest (and best-paid) stars are often the players who hit the most of them.
		These home runs are generally considered to be special because of their rarity, but also because of the kind of excitement, specific to the game situation, that they can create.

	"Home Run" Used To Electronically Hijack World Trade Center Aircraft
		The engineers had no idea that almost thirty years after its initial design, Home Run’s top secret computer codes would be broken, and the system used to facilitate direct ground control of the four aircraft used in the high-profile attacks on New York and Washington on 11th September 2001.
		In order to make Home Run truly effective, it had to be completely integrated with all onboard systems, and this could only be accomplished with a new aircraft design, several of which were on the drawing boards at that time.
		The Home Run listening device on the flight deck utilizes the cockpit microphones that normally feed the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), one of two fl boxes armored to withstand heavy impact and thereby later give investigators significant clues to why the aircraft crashed.

	Bookreporter.com - HOME RUN edited by George Plimpton
		The home run is the most dramatic way to send fans into fits of ecstasy or agony.
		Since the dinger, the tater, the bomb, and all the other euphemisms for a home run are so exciting, it follows that some of the most compelling baseball writing concentrates on the four-bagger.
		HOME RUN delivers on its namesake: This is a marvelous array of compositions from different angles --- humorous, serious and delirious --- on how losing a ball can make so many so happy.
