Leadoff homerun - leading off the inning with a homer
Walkoff homerun - ending the game with the homerun, as in the bottom of the ninth.
You can have a homerun be both, like Bill Mazaroski's homer to win the '60 Series leading off the bottom of the ninth.
Squeeze bunt - when a runner is on third, using a bunt to score the runner.
Suicide Squeeze bunt - when the runner on third starts for home as soon as the pitcher pitches it, hoping the batter gets the bunt down.
Safety Squeeze bunt - when the runner waits for the bunt to be put down before starting for home.
The Arena leagues have no "official" connection to the NFL outside of NFL owners owning AFL teams. NFL Europe teams aren't traditional "farm" teams like in baseball: the NFL teams send players over who are distributed among teams.
