A big bear hug after returning from college or summer camp. If you play baseball, you may recall a terrific slide at home plate where you or a teammate or favorite player scored the winning run. Many of the exciting plays and most of the important action in baseball takes place at home. Every pitch comes home. Every hitter must step into the batter s box that surrounds home plate.
Every hit begins at home.

Players have a more set routine at home. During away games, all of these areas are adversely affected. Without families to go home to, players may also stay out later and get less rest.
