No. A 'walk off home run' is a term, first used by pitcher Dennis Eckersley of the Oakland Athletics, that stands for a home run, hit by the home team in the ninth inning or later, that ends a game.
A walk off homer in Major League Baseball is a home run that ends a game, allowing all players to "walk off" the field. It would either happen in the bottom of the 9th inning or later (only in the bottom of an inning). The home run gives the batting team the lead from them being either behind or a tie game.

What is more exciting. a triple play a no-hitter or a walk-off home run?
Excitement is a personal thing, so there is no correct answer. For me, it's a triple play. A walk off homer may be exciting for the home team as it ends the game, but a homer is a homer, and we see them all the time. The excitement is in the winning, not the homer. Again, though, it's a matter of personal preference.

Is there a limit on how big your baseball glove is?
new answer: Almost positive the largest allowable size is 13 inches. The last entry of "no" is wrong. Baseball gloves do have limits and restrictions. For instance, a major league player using a softball mit that is larger than a regulation baseball glove can get ejected. The opposing team would challenge the size. mpires do not walk around measuring gloves. The ruke can be foud uner the equipment section of the major league rule book Otherwise you could show up with a butterfly net....
