What the difference between a walk-off home run and a regular home run?

walk off is when it is a game winner a regular homer is just in any inning but not a game winner. then they can walk off the field happy with a win. good luck and the yanks wont be doing that tonight I hope.

A walk off home run is a home run hit by the home team in the bottom of the ninth or extra innings that wins them the game and ends it.

Walk off home runs win the game. A home run in the 9th inning that wins the game is a walk off. A regular home run just scores however many people are on base and the hitter.

walkoff wins the game. if the home team hits a homerun than its a walk-off. if the visitor hits a homerun and breaks the tie well that is the go ahead run but would not end the game until they go to the bottom of the 9th or etc

a walk-off homerun is one that wins the game. Its called that because after it is hit, the team walks off to the field since they won. There are also walk-off hits, basically game ending play, when the score is tied and the winning run scores

A walk off wins the game. The game is over.

It does not have to be a HR, it can be any hit to be a walk off.

Good luck.

a walkoff can end the game..(ex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dggk9w54L0) this is one...down 4-2 andre ethier hits a three run shot to win it in the ninth...
