Just a baseball term, not an official definition.

A term that says the game is over because of the home run. So basically 3-3 ballgame in the bottom of the 9th inning, the home team hits a homerun with no one on base. That is a walk off homerun.

There are also terms, walk off single(double, triple) and I have even heard the term, walk off base on balls.

Peace

I know this is a baseball site. However, in ASA slow pitch softball, in several divisions, when a home run is hit, the batter and all runners on base go to the dugout, with all runs appropriate scored. No one has to run the bases. I don't know if this context is relevant to you, or not.

walk-off home run (n)
a home run by the home team in the bottom of the ninth inning or in an extra inning that ends the game.

......and everyone just "walks off" the field.

In some forms of ASA softball, a home run results in an out. Go figure!!

This is the actual meaning of the term "walk-off home run."

The visiting team can only "walk off" the field in disgust and dismay.:)
