third bases

Corners before scoring

Third bases is the plural of third base, with both literal and figurative uses.

In baseball, third base is the station a runner must reach before heading home—though a field has only one, multiple fields have multiple third bases.

In slang, third base refers to sexual touching below the waist, short of intercourse: We got to third base on prom night.
