Home Run
(My research is watching the show when it went out; there were *at least* three series, possibly more.) |
(After doing MORE research, I can confirm that there were TWO series. The first series aired in 1989 on Mondays in the winter, but the second series had to wait until 1993 on Tuesdays in the summer.) |

Synopsis
A map of the entire Central transmission region is divided into irregular polygons, each named after the city or town they contain. Two teams of local dignitaries, celebrities, and/or quizzers from one of the named areas.
The teams were put in an area precisely four steps from each of their nominal bases; winning a round entitled them to move one step towards their native area, and the first team to arrive back had completed a home run. In other series, the map was used as a scoreboard, the most areas filled would win.
