One. Prior to 1920, any 9th inning ball hit over the fence only counted for as many bases as were required for the team to win. In Babe Ruth's case, this occurred on July 8, 1918 when, with one man on base and the score tied 0-0 in the bottom of the 9th, Ruth hit one over the fence. Because the Red Sox only needed one run to win, only the runner from first was allowed to score and Ruth was credited with a triple.

Do you understand that if someone hits a "walk-off" homerun that ALL runs score. If the score was tied at 4 and I hit a grandslam the final score would be 8-4.

Using your example, it would still be a home run but in modern terms (thanks to Eck) called a walk-off home run.
