Page 15 of my yellowed 1989 paperback edition of One up on Wall Street:

"In Wall Street parlance a tenbagger is a stock in which you've made ten times your money. I suspect this highly technical term has been borrowed from baseball, which only goes up to a fourbagger, or homerun. In my business a fourbagger is nice, but a tenbagger is the fiscal equivalent of two homeruns and a double. If you've ever had a tenbagger in the stock market, you know how appealing it can be."
