A homer hit by the home team in the bottom of the ninth or later. Called a walk-off homer because once it is hit, the game is not only automacally won, it is also automatically ended. A road team cannot hit a walk-off homer (or any other type of hit for that matter), because the home team is always guaranteed to come to bat in the bottom of the inning.

When a player hits a home runin the bottom of the LAST inning of the game, giving his team the winning run(s) and ending the game. He hits a home run and then "walks off" because the game is over.

Most everyone answered it for you....it wasn't until I think in the 1930's that this would not happen.....if you hit a home run with a man on base....lets say he was on second.....when that player on base crossed the plate the game was over and you got credited for only a double.....I understand this actually happened to Babe Ruth once.....so he actually may have had 715 home runs!!

A "walk-off" play is one wherein the abode group scores the circulate-forward run interior the ninth inning or later (or the basically precise inning, such with the aid of fact the seventh in severe college, or the 6th in Little League). while the abode group has the lead interior the basically precise inning or any further inning, the sport ends straight away (different than contained regarding a house run, wherein all baserunners are allowed to attain, whether extra desirable than mandatory to win the sport). So, while the abode group takes the lead, rather everyone can basically walk off, with the aid of fact the sport is over. So, any run-scoring play may be a "walk-off" play. The 1999 Mets ended the two postseason series they performed on walk-off performs. Todd Pratt won the branch series with a walk-off abode run, and Kenny Rogers ended the national League Championship series with the help of throwing ball 4 of a bases-loaded walk (a walk-off walk, in case you will). In game 5 of that comparable series, Robin Ventura hit a ball over the wall with the bases loaded interior the backside of the fifteenth inning for what could have been a walk-off grand slam. in spite of the fact that, interior the confusion of the social gathering, he handed yet another runner on the basepaths, so Ventura replaced into called out, and replaced into purely credited with a single to stress interior the triumphing run. nonetheless, it replaced into between the main memorable walk-off moments in Mets history. besides, the basically precise frequently-scheduled game for that 1999 Mets group that season ended with a walk-off wild pitch, on which Melvin Mora scored the triumphing run. thinking of it now, that group walked off in all varieties of wierd techniques! walk-off wins are continuously accompanied with the help of great excitement and social gathering.
