[Ed. note: Pip is on vacation this week, so fellow SABRen Mark Stangl will be posting in his absence. Enjoy!]
Immediately after the game Wednesday night, after Colby Rasmus took advantage of Pablo Sandoval’s error on on the foul pop to hit the walk off home run in the 10th inning, SABR member Bob Tiemann greeted me with the question, “Has there ever been a game that ended on a walk-off home run that was unearned?” I couldn’t remember, and he thought it could have been one of the few times. I do remember numerous chances of hitters making teams pay after “given a second life,” but never a walk-off dinger. If you know of any occurrences of an unearned walk-off home run, please comment.
