A walk-off WHAT?!

The walk-off is one of the most exciting plays in baseball. Because it can only happen in the bottom of the ninth inning (or the bottom of an extra inning), only the home team can win on a walk-off, which adds to the excitement because the home fans get to celebrate along with the winning team. The walk-off home run is undoubtedly the most exciting way to win in walk-off fashion, but walk-off hits are fun too, especially if there's a play at the plate. You'll occasionally see a walk-off walk, which if you're not a fan of the winning team is disappointing and anticlimactic.

But a walk-off bunt single? I'm pretty sure I've never seen that before. Yes, it happened in Major League, but that's fiction, and even that game didn't end until Willie Mays Hayes rounded third and headed home, drawing a throw from Klu Haywood at first. Anyway, that's how the Indians lost to the Angels last night, as Howie Kendrick laid one down against Chris Perez that caught the entire infield defense napping. Once the ball got past Perez, it was over with.

Unbelievable.
