Paddyjoe - I've always thought that a walk off homer is a home run that gives your team the lead/win in the bottom of the ninth. if your team is down by one run with one out in the bottom of the ninth and you hit a two run homer the game is over you win. I would guess it's called a walk off because you get to walk off the field as soon as you touch home. something like that.
I may have heard it for home runs that give a team the lead in the top of the ninth, but those wouldn't end the game on the spot, so im not sure if they count.
I have a question.
squeeze bunt vs. sucide squeeze bunt?
