It must be a home run that gives the home team the lead (and consequently, the win) in the bottom of the final inning of the game . Thus the losing team (the visiting team) must then "walk off" the field immediately afterward, rather than finishing the inning . The winning runs must still be counted at home plate . This scenario can only occur if the visiting team is tied or leading after the top half of the inning . </P> <P> Although the concept of a game - ending home run is as old as baseball, the adjective "walk - off" attained widespread use only in the late 1990s and early 2000s . </P>
