/Sounds like "hohn" (as in "hope") + "ROHN" (as in "row")/

Meaning

A home run in baseball, the most exciting hit in the game, when the ball sails out of the park and the batter rounds all the bases in pure celebration. It's the adapted Spanish spelling used across Latin America's baseball-loving nations.

Examples

Home run with bases loaded!

That pitcher hasn't allowed a single homer all tournament.
