1856 Spirit of Times 4 Oct. 86/1 They..would have done better, but for an injudicious attempt on the part of Mr. Gelston to get a home run, when he was headed off and put out on the home base.

1884 N.-Y. Times 28 Sept. 2/5 The visitors hit Terry to good advantage, making 12 hits, including a home run.

1913 System: Mag. of Business Mar. 242/1 Sales that week were booming... Better still, ‘The Blue Store’ made a hit—a home run at that.

1917 Automobile 8 Feb. 330/1 No further comment was necessary. It was a home-run sermon.

1965 C. Bukowski Let. 17 Apr. in Screams from Balcony (1998) 146 The old typewriter finally fell apart to unrepairable stage. Like the death of an old friend, all the fire we went through, the drunks, the whores, the rejects, and the occasional home run.

2001 B. E. Hill & D. Power Inside Secrets Venture Capital xvii. 220 They realize not every investment is a home run.

2003 Time 10 Mar. 50/1 Nobody really expected it to work. Indeed, says Essex, although a dozen other vaccines are in early stages of testing, ‘it's extremely unlikely that anything already in trials is going to be a home run’.

1967 ‘Dear Abby’ in Los Angeles Times 31 Dec. b5/2 If, at age 14, you've gone to ‘second and third base’, you had better get out of that league or you'll be known as the ‘Home-Run Queen’ by the time you're 16.

1975 K. Fleming & A. T. Fleming First Time 107 If you could kiss her, that was a single. If you could feel her breasts, that was a double. If you could get a hand on her pussy, that was a triple. And if you could fuck her, that was a home run.

1993 J. Johnston Cowboy & Princess 164 You sound like a teenage boy who just hit a home run with his girl.

2003 E. Noble Reading Group 125 Isn't it funny how we're all so much better at kissing if that's all we're going to do? She thought. Once second and third bases, and even home runs, are on the cards, you start racing through the first.
