Walk-off home run

Updated: Wikipedia source

Walk-off home run

In baseball, a walk-off home run is a home run that ends the game. For a home run to end the game, it must be hit in the bottom of the final inning and generate enough runs to exceed the opponent's score. Because the opponent will not have an opportunity to score any more runs, there is no need to finish the inning and the team on defense will "walk off" the field while the player who hit the home run is rounding the bases. The winning runs must still touch all three bases and be counted at home plate. A variant of the walk-off home run, the walk-off grand slam, occurs when a grand slam exceeds the opponent's score in the bottom of the final inning and ends the game.

Henrich's blast leading off the ninth was the first game-winning home run in Series history, and provided the game's only run.
1954
Game 1, September 29
Dusty Rhodes, N.Y. Giants
Polo Grounds
Bob Lemon, Cleveland
2–2, 10th1 out2 on
5–2

Game 7, October 13
Bill Mazeroski, Pittsburgh
Forbes Field
Ralph Terry, N.Y. Yankees
9–9, 9th0 out0 on
10–9
4–3 PIT
Leading off the ninth, Mazeroski homers to end the Series, giving the Pirates their first championship since 1925. It is the only Game 7 game-winning home run in World Series history. After Forbes Field was demolished, the section of the left-field wall where the home run left the park was moved to the Pirates' new home of Three Rivers Stadium, and still later was moved to their current home, PNC Park. A line of bricks marks that section of the wall, next to a preserved wall section, and a plaque indicating the spot where Mazeroski's homer left the park is embedded in the current sidewalk.
1964
Game 3, October 10
Mickey Mantle, N.Y. Yankees
Yankee Stadium
Barney Schultz, St. Louis
1–1, 9th0 out0 on

1975
Game 6, October 21
Carlton Fisk, Boston

Pat Darcy, Cincinnati
6–6, 12th0 out0 on
7–6
3–3
Fisk's home run to lead off the 12th inning, high off the left-field foul pole above the Green Monster, ties the Series in one of the best remembered moments in the sport's history. The homer arguably changed the way televised sports are covered; because camera operators missed a cue from the producer, the camera lingered on Fisk trying to "wave his home run fair." This image of Fisk proved so dramatic that "reaction shots" became standard fare in sports broadcasting.
1988
Game 1, October 15
Kirk Gibson, Los Angeles
Dodger Stadium
Dennis Eckersley, Oakland
3–4, 9th2 out1 on
5–4
1–0 LAD
The injured and hobbling Gibson, later named the NL MVP, makes his only Series appearance with a pinch-hit, two-run, two-out home run for the underdog Dodgers, marking the first game-winning Series home run by a team that trailed at the time. Oakland's José Canseco had provided all his team's scoring with a second-inning grand slam. Jack Buck, who called the game for CBS Radio, exclaimed "I don't believe what I just saw!" as Gibson circled the bases.
1988
Game 3, October 18
Mark McGwire, Oakland
Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum
Jay Howell, Los Angeles
1–1, 9th1 out0 on
2–1

McGwire's home run with one out gives Oakland its only win in the Series. It is the first time that two game-winning home runs are hit in the same post-season series.
1991
Game 6, October 26
Kirby Puckett, Minnesota
Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome
Charlie Leibrandt, Atlanta
3–3, 11th0 out0 on
4–3
3–3
Puckett, who had made a game-saving defensive play earlier in this game, leads off the 11th inning with a homer to tie the Series, as Jack Buck told the nation on CBS, "We'll see you... tomorrow night!" In addition, Puckett falls a double short of hitting for the cycle, getting two singles, a triple, and the homer.
1993
Game 6, October 23
Joe Carter, Toronto
SkyDome
Mitch Williams, Philadelphia
5–6, 9th1 out2 on
8–6
4–2 TOR
Carter hit a three-run homer with one out to give Toronto its second consecutive championship. Radio sportscaster Tom Cheek's call of "Touch 'em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!" would go down as one of the most iconic moments in Toronto sports history. This is the most recent time that the World Series title was decided on a walk-off home run.
1999
Game 3, October 26
Chad Curtis, N.Y. Yankees
Yankee Stadium
Mike Remlinger, Atlanta
5–5, 10th0 out0 on
6–5
3–0 NYY
Curtis leads off the tenth inning with his second home run of the evening to give the Yankees a commanding Series lead.
2001
Game 4, October 31
Derek Jeter, N.Y. Yankees
Yankee Stadium
Byung-hyun Kim, Arizona
3–3, 10th2 out0 on
4–3
2–2
Jeter's homer with two out in the tenth ties the Series in the first-ever Series at-bat by any player in the month of November (just after midnight on November 1); the series had been delayed because of the September 11, 2001 attacks. It also gave him the nickname of "Mr. November".
2003
Game 4, October 22
Álex González, Florida
Pro Player Stadium
Jeff Weaver, N.Y. Yankees
3–3, 12th0 out0 on
4–3
2–2
González, who had five hits in 53 at-bats in the postseason and one hit in 13 at-bats in the World Series, hits a home run on a full count to lead off the 12th inning, tying the Series and shifting momentum to Florida for the remainder of the Series.
2005
Game 2, October 23
Scott Podsednik, Chi. White Sox
Cellular Field
Brad Lidge, Houston
6–6, 9th1 out0 on
7–6
2–0 CHW
After Paul Konerko hits a grand slam to give Chicago a 6–4 lead in the seventh, and Houston ties it in the ninth, Podsednik, who had not homered in 129 games in the regular season, hits one to right-center with one out to win it.
2011
Game 6, October 27
David Freese, St. Louis
Busch Stadium
Mark Lowe, Texas
9–9, 11th0 out0 on
10–9
3–3
After Texas had taken the lead in the ninth and tenth innings by two runs each, the Cardinals rallied twice to keep the score tied in the bottom of the tenth. Jake Westbrook pitched a scoreless 11th inning to set up David Freese's solo walk-off home run to tie the series and force Game 7, which the Cardinals won. Fox play-by-play commentator Joe Buck echoed his late father Jack's call of Kirby Puckett's home run from the 1991 World Series, saying, "...we will see you tomorrow night!" Puckett's and Freese's home runs occurred under similar circumstances: 1) both happened during Game 6 of the World Series, and 2) both men were the first batter of the eleventh inning. The home runs were hit twenty years and a day apart from each other.
2018
Game 3, October 26
Max Muncy, L.A. Dodgers
Dodger Stadium
Nathan Eovaldi, Boston
2–2, 18th0 out0 on
3–2
2–1 BOS
After missing a home run by a few feet in the 15th inning, Muncy hit a full count pitch over the left field wall off Eovaldi leading off the bottom of the 18th inning, giving the Dodgers the win and ending the longest World Series game in history in terms of innings (18) and time (7 hours, 20 mins), exactly 30 years after the Kirk Gibson walk-off homered at the opener in the 1988 World Series against the Oakland Athletics when Dennis Eckersley pitched the full count in the bottom of the ninth inning.
2023
Game 1, October 27
Adolis García, Texas
Globe Life Field
Miguel Castro, Arizona
5-5, 11th1 out0 on
6–5
1–0 TEX
After Texas tied at the bottom of the ninth with a two run home run by Corey Seager, the game went into extra innings. At the bottom of the eleventh with one out, Adolis García hit a home run, breaking the single postseason runs batted in record which was previously held by David Freese of the St. Louis Cardinals. This coincidentally happened twelve years to the day after Freese's own walk-off home run against Texas to end Game 6 of the 2011 World Series. García became the first American Leaguer to hit the walk-off home run in the World Series game since Scott Podsednik of the Chicago White Sox in game two of the 2005 World Series and the second Latin American player to do so since the Florida Marlin shortstop, Álex González who homered off Jeff Weaver of the New York Yankees in the fourth game of the 2003 World Series.

Game 1, October 25
Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles
Dodger Stadium
Nestor Cortés Jr., N.Y. Yankees
2–3, 10th2 out3 on
6–3
1–0 LAD
Trailing 3–2 and down to the final out with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th, the Dodgers' Freddie Freeman hit the first walk-off grand slam in Series history to win the opening game. Announcer Joe Davis echoed the call of Vin Scully from 1988, saying "She is ... Gone!", comparing Freeman's walk-off to that of Kirk Gibson's in 1988 , saying "Gibby meet Freddie!" Both men were playing through injury when they hit their respective walk-off home runs.
2025

Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles
Dodger Stadium
Brendon Little, Toronto
5–5, 18th0 out0 on
6–5

With the game tied 5–5 in the bottom of the 18th inning, Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off solo home run, becoming the only player in MLB history to record multiple walk-off home runs in the World Series. Freeman's second walk-off became the second time a Dodger has hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning at Dodger Stadium in game 3 of the World Series.

After George Brett tied the game with a three-run shot in the eighth, Chambliss brought the Yankees their first pennant in 12 years with a homer to right on the first pitch of the ninth inning. A flood of fans then stormed the field in a virtual riot; Chambliss was surrounded as he rounded first base, and had to reach out to touch second, which had been torn out by a fan. He never reached third, but teammates later had him return to step in the general area of home plate. Damages were estimated at US$100,000 and the disastrous walk-off dinger to decide the league pennant became the first in the LCS history.

Yankee Stadium
Randy Myers, Baltimore

In one of the most controversial postseason games in history, Williams leads off the 11th with a game-winning homer.

The Mets tie the score at 3–3 with a bases-loaded walk with one out in the 15th, bringing up Ventura, who with 13 career grand slams is tied for the lead among active players with Harold Baines and Mark McGwire. He comes through with the first game winning grand slam—and the first grand slam in extra innings—in post-season history, clearing the center-right field wall and forcing Game 6, but is officially credited with only a one-run single after being mobbed by teammates upon passing first base.
