Answer 3

A walk-off wins the team the game.

Answer 4

A walk off home run is one the ends the game for the home team.  

The term was believed to be first used by Dennis Eckersley in the late 1980's.  The original connotation was negative because Eck would say when he gave up a game winning home run he would have to "walk off" the field in shame.

Answer 5

After the Walk off home, the game is immediately homered.

Its always a home run for the home team also.

A regular homer will be proceeded by another at-bat

It can be hit by both home and road teams.

Answer 6

A Walk off home run is when you hit a home-run that puts your team in the lead in the bottom of the 9th 10th 11th and on and on.

A regular home run is whenn the home team or away team hit a home run but it just adds a run to there score or ties it or can also take the lead.

Answer 7

A walk off homer is a homer that ends the game and can only be scored by the home team. A regular homer is just a home run in the early, middle or late innings that doesn't end the game but ether puts padding on a lead or chips away at a lead (score).

Answer 8

walk-off wins the game its over end of story

home rune just keeps adding to the score
