Etymology of TWOBAGGERS
The term "twobaggers" is primarily a slang term used in baseball to refer to a batted ball that requires the batter to run to second base, resulting in a double. It is derived from the combination of two separate baseball terms: "two" and "baggers".
In baseball, the bases are often referred to as "bags". First base is often called "first bag", second base is "second bag", and so on. A "two-bagger" is a term to describe a double (a hit that allows the batter to safely reach second base).
The term "baggers" itself seems to have its origins in the early 20th century, where it was used to describe players who were successful in stealing bases. Over time, it evolved to also describe hits that allowed batters to reach bases successfully.
