Walk-Off Home Run: Definition & What Makes It Special

Question
What is a walk off homerun?

Answer
Gene,

A walk off home run is a term for home run which gives the home team the lead in the ninth inning or later. The reason it is called a walk off is because the home team can walk off the field with a win after the batter crosses home.

Thank you for the question,
Sean
