According to Baseball Reference, thirteen Major League Baseball games ended on a balk. The last "balk-off" win was on May 31, 2010, with the Dodgers beating the Diamondbacks.
In MLB, it is a balk.
In Major League Baseball (MLB), a balk is a penalty called on a pitcher for making an illegal movement or action while on the pitching mound. According to the rules of baseball, a balk is defined as any deceptive or illegal movement by the pitcher with a runner on base, which can result in the runner advancing to the next base.
There are 162 games in the regular season of MLB.
By definition, a balk can only be committed when there is at least one runner on base. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/pitcher_8.jsp
There are 162 games in a MLB regular season. Add that to as many as 36 exhibition games and a possible 19 post season games and MLB team could play as many as 217 games in a year.
Yes. Although I cannot recall the dates and teams, I have watched at least two MLB games over the years in which the winning run was balked in in the bottom of the ninth. There was a Red Sox-Angels game in 1986 that ended on a balk, with the Red Sox winning. I can't remember the specifics, unfortunately.
