In baseball, 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 final inning of the game — either the ninth inning, any extra inning, or any other regularly-scheduled final inning. It is called a "walk-off" home run because the teams walk off the field immediately afterward. Sportscasters also use the term "walk-off double" or other such terms if such a hit drives in the winning run to end the game. The terms walk-off hit by pitch or walk-off balk have been applied, and the latter has been dubbed a balk-off (these types of questionable walk-offs are seen by some fans as cheapening the concept). Although the concept is as old as baseball, the term itself has come into wide use only since the 1990s.
Outside of baseball, the term "walk-off" has been used recently in both college and pro football, using such terms as "walk-off field goal" and "walk-off touchdown", meaning a team scored the winning points to end the game either in sudden-death overtime or in the bottom half of the overtime period in college football.
it has to be in the bottom of an inning and it has to be the home team that does it since they always bat last in an inning. it has to score enough runs to win the game, and everyone gets to go home. it would still be a game winning home run if a team hits a home run to with the game in the top of that inning, but it would not be a walk off because they would still have to play the last half inning.
