What is the definition of a "walk off" homerun?

Answer 1

A homerun that is hit by the home team when they are either trailing or tied with their opponents in their final at bat. After the home run is hit the home team wins the game and can "walk off" the field. It can be hit in the bottom of the ninth or in the bottom half of an extra inning.

Answer 2

A homerun that is hit by the home team in the bottom of the 9th inning or later to win the game.

Answer 3

A homerun that is hit in the 9th inning or later, by the home team, which ends the game.

Answer 4

home team up to bat..bottom of the ninth inning..someone hits a homerun that puts the home team ahead by at least one run they win and when the batter touches home plate all the players "walk off" the field and the game is over

Answer 5

Like franckyboi said. The name comes from the fact that the only thing the other team can do is "walk off" the field and hit the showers.

Answer 6

a homerun that wins the game, like David Ortiz's homer in the 10th to win it for the Red Sox yesterday! Go Sox!

Answer 7

if you're the home team and it's bottom of ninth or later and you score a run to break the tie, everyone "walks off" the field as the game stops where it is no matter how many outs the other team has on you.

Did you hear about David Eckstein's walk off RBI the other night? wasn't it exciting?

Answer 8

A homerun that wins the game.
The game ends and the players "walk off" the field.
