Bring it on home

How can I understand this sentence, 'Let the heavy hitters bring it on home'? I know the meaning of 'bring it on' but in this sentence, I do not know how to understand it and 'home' is used as an adverb or a noun in front of 'on'?.Hmm...I think 'bring it on home' is an idiom meaning 'home-run'? What do you think? Thank you in advance.

Anonymous I think 'bring it on home' is an idiom meaning 'home-run'? I think so too, but it's only a metaphoric reference to baseball. To bring something [on] [home] = to bring something [continuing through to] [its ultimate goal] = to finish something (by performing the final steps) The brackets show the corresponding meaning.

To me, your expression is somewhat reminiscent of "romp home" but I suppose it doesn't necessarily sugget that the win was easy.
