		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.
		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.
		A player who hits a home run is said to have "dialed 8", from the practice of having to dial 8 from a hotel room telephone to dial long distance.

	Home run information - Search.com
		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.
		As home runs usually demonstrate batting power and triples indicate speed, hitting for the cycle is highly regarded for the way it indicates a player's varied abilities.
		Other legendary home run hitters include Ted Williams, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Mickey Mantle (who hit what is considered the longest home run ever at an estimated distance of 643 feet on September 10, 1960), Reggie Jackson, Ernie Banks, Eddie Mathews and the other members of Major League Baseball's 500 home run club.

		But the volcanic event that reshaped baseball’s landscape occurred in midseason when Rafael Palmeiro, who had slammed 566 home runs in his career and had stroked his 3,000th hit only two weeks earlier, was suspended for steroid usage.

	GameSpot: MVP 06 NCAA Baseball Review
		College baseball isn't all that dissimilar from big-league baseball in terms of how the game is played, although there are some key differences.
		Take-out slides and home plate collisions are prohibited, for example, and the strike zone is smaller, which deters pitchers from throwing too far inside, and hitters from crowding the plate.
		College stadiums don't have loud sound systems or fireworks celebrations for home runs like MLB stadiums do, but they do tend to have stands filled with rabid fans that aren't afraid to show or yell their team spirit.

	Will Bonds pass Aaron on home run list? - SeacoastConnects Forums
		There are only two things that will keep Bonds from passing Aaron for the all-time home run lead: 1) a suspension for steroid use; 2) injuries.
		Even with his HR frequency greatly diminished, Bonds would need to average just five home runs per month to pass Aaron in July or August of next season.
		The surly slugger has said all along that his No. 1 goal was to pass Babe Ruth, not Aaron, so don’t be surprised if he calls it quits after this season instead of enduring another year of so-called abuse from opposing fans and the media.
