I think the expression is usually "touch or tag all the bases." It is a Baseball expression. You score a run (point) if you touch all the bases. However. if you step over a base without touching it or take a short cut and miss a base, you can be put out and the run does not count. Hence the phrase means to not take any short-cuts , to follow all the rules, do all the steps needed to complete a task.

If a batter hits a home run?

If a batter hits a home run, he can automatically run around all the bases and the team gets a point. If there are any runners already on the bases, then they count as points too. This is why you can have two-run home runs and 3-run home runs. If the bases are loaded, and the player at bat hits a home run, then the team gets four points. This is called a grand slam.
