what is a walkoff home run?
455165
A walkoff home run is a home that wins the game for the home team. This can be a home run when the game is either tied or when the home team is behind after the top of the ninth inning. I guess to explain it even better here is an example.\n\nThe the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs are tied in the bottom of the ninth inning that the Cubs are playing at home. Then someone hits a home run and the game is over. That is what a walk off home run is.\n\nI hope this helps.

Intentional walks are usually created to prevent one side of a team to keep from losing or keep staying in the lead of the game. \n\nIn my thoughts, it prevents a good player from clobbering the pitcher by a double, triple, or a homerun. You see this with Barry Bonds a lot actually. There's a tie game and the opposing team scrambles for an intentional walk to prevent a disaster.

definately the intentional walks, it is cheap and takes the bat away from the hitter basically. im not saying it should entirely be done with because pitcher can still walk their batter by pitching outside the strike zone, but they need to regulate how many intentional walks are allowed. ive always wanted this type of rule where you are only allowed to intentionally walk a each batter once in a game. this is especially a good idea because of barry bonds and albert pujols type of players.

They don't always slide -- if they are coming in and there will clearly be no play at the plate, the runner will go across standing up. The slide is used when the ball comes home to the catcher so the runner can try to avoid the tag.

Home Run of course.  Grand Slam if the bases are loaded.  Foul ball if it is beyond the foul lines.

According to Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe, the term was first introduced by pitcher Dennis Eckersley, who coined it after giving up a "walkoff piece" to Kirk Gibson in the 1988 World Series. Although the term originally was coined with a negative connotation, in reference to the pitcher (who must walk off the field with his head hung in shame), it has come to mean a more celebratory term for the batter (who walks off with pride and adulation). The term attained widespread use in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

It is a home run that ends the game.  The term "walk-off" comes from the days of Lou Gehrig.  After he hit a three-run home run to win a game for the Yankees his teammates walked-off the field, into the dug-out, and into the locker room.  They did this before rounding the bases and touching home plate.  All the runs were scored and the umpire called the game before Gehrig himself could even make his way to home.

think of it as base ball, \nbut a homerun is equal to one run, and the batter still stays

wow guinevere kate, i didn't know you were proud of me. lol. see you at practice!\n\nfor those who didn't understand:\ni made the batter walk so by doing this, he can only go to the first base. if you have to take the walk, you are only allowed to go to the next base...nowhere else. the game doesn't and with him taking the walk...there are a lot of oppurtunities to tag him throughout the game.

A walk-off home run is a home run which ends the game. It must be a home run that gives the home team the lead in the bottom of the 9th inning or the bottom of any extra inning. It is called a "walk-off" home run because the teams walk off the field immediately afterward. Sportscasters will also use the term "walk-off double" or other such terms if such a hit drives in the winning run to end the game

it has nothing to do with which pitch was hit out, and only the home team can hit a walk off home run.\n\nA walk off home run is a home run hit by the home team in the bottom of the 9th inning (or in extra innings) that wins the game. \n\nIt's called a walk off home run because the teams walk off the field after the play, because the game ends at that point.
