Originally, walk off was supposed to refer to the pitcher walking off after giving up the HR and was called "walk off piece," according to Dennis Eckersley.  

 

''It was always walk-off piece," Dennis Eckersley told the Boston Globe. "Like something you would hang in an art gallery. The walk-off piece is a horrible piece of art."
