In baseball, a walk-off home run is a home run that ends the game. 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 home team can walk off the field immediately afterward, rather than finishing the inning. The winning runs must still be counted at home plate.
In baseball, an intentional base on balls, usually referred to as an intentional walk and denoted in baseball scorekeeping by IBB, is a walk issued to a batter by a pitcher with the intent of removing the batter's opportunity to swing at the pitched ball. pitch that is intentionally thrown far outside the strike zone for this purpose is referred to as an intentional ball. Informally, it is often referred to as a four-finger salute. This reference stems from the manager's holding up four fingers to signal an intentional walk to his pitcher or catcher.
