Correct me if i misuse the term. As in advancing runners to the plate rather than to any of the myriad bases they could stop at. Also, i think i had me an epiphony... I figured out why they call it home. Because it is shaped like a house as seen from the field. House being in mind due to the theme in the thread opener of middles. "Our house... in the middle of the street." Seems inevitible now that i see it...
