Thanks for sharing, I also didn’t know the origin. I was taught it as both teams “walk off” the field without the final out(s) being recorded. There are other ways to have a walk-off besides a HR. Walks, HBP, steal home.
I’m looking forward to it as well, but this season will be drastically different from the previous series. I’m a big fan of Timothy Olyphant but Walton Goggins helped make it as good as it was. Hopefully the new series has someone that does that too.
