Around the horn

From BR Bullpen

Around the horn usually refers to infielders throwing the ball around the infield after an out has been recorded. The concept derives from ships doing a big semicircle around Cape Horn. It was originally done in baseball, says one source, so that infielders could scuff up the ball before returning it to the pitcher.
