inside-the-park home run
Circling without leaving
An inside-the-park home run is a home run in baseball where the batter circles all four bases on a ball that stays in the field of play, rather than clearing the outfield fence.
These typically result from balls hit to deep outfield gaps combined with outfielder misplays or exceptional baserunning speed: He legged out an inside-the-park home run when the ball bounced past the center fielder.
