A legitimate home run is made when the striker hits a ball that enables him to touch all his bases, and get home, with out stopping on the way, before he is put out. No matter whether the run is obtained from the great distance the ball is hit, or from errors in fielding it, if the batsman goes round without stopping, and reaches home before being put out, he makes a home run. A “clean” home run is made when the striker gets round before the ball is returned to the in field. We have thus explained this matter for the benefit of our country readers.
