Thompson's walk off won the national league title; Maz's walk off won the world championship. Outside of NY, Thompson's HR was a thrilling baseball moment. But it seems like family when our childhood baseball heroes die. It's always sad. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In those days they were called "Game winning homers". The term walk-off was coined by ESPN. It's a new part of baseball culture. (NT) -- Bilgy, Wednesday, August 18, 07:02:47am
