A home run is usually made by hitting the ball out of the playing field, over the wall or fence in fair territory. A ball hit within the park that allows the batter to circle the bases without an error being committed also counts as a home run; it is then called an "inside-the-park home run." 8, record 1, English, - home%20run

"Chinese homer" : An expression used widely in the 1950's to describe a cheap home run. The term is a carry-over from the days long past when Chinese labor was vastly underpaid, and it was most commonly used in connection with New York's Polo Grounds(since demolished), where the distances along the foul lines were 257 feet in right field and 279 in left field [instead of the now standard 325 feet]. 1, record 6, English, - chinese%20homer

Safety is to be improved at the Homer Tunnel.... There is only enough room for one bus at a time, the tunnel is not lit and there is no emergency phone within the tunnel itself. Sunday's fire, although an unusual incident, is now raising wider issues for Transit including whether to make the tunnel two way. But tour operators say traffic flow was not to blame.
