touch all bases. Not touching a base in baseball can result in big trouble (see bonehead play) and even a player who hits a home run must touch all the bases as he rounds them, which led to the common general expression to touch all bases, to be thorough and leave nothing undone. This phrase, in turn, is the source of the expression to touch base with, meaning to consult or inform someone concerning an impending matter. |
