My favorite walk-off home runs from 1999-2009

I just thought I would give you my favorite walk off home runs of all time from 1999-2009. They  involve the postseason action and regular season, because those home runs won games under many different circumstances.

11. Andre Ethier of the Los Angeles Dodgers had four walk home runs in the 2009 Regular Season. This is him after hitting one of those off the Milwaukee Brewers.

10. Chris Burke of the Houston Astros hits a walk off home run off Joey Devine of the Atlanta Braves in 18 innings of Game four of the 2005 National League Division Series to catapult the Astros to the National League Championship Series. They eventually were swept by the Chicago White Sox in the 2005 World Series.

9. Scott Podsednik of the Chicago White Sox hits a game winning home run off Houston Astros’ closer Brad Lidge in Game 2 of the 2005 World Series. Scott never hit a home run in the 2005 MLB Regular Season, and already this is his second in the 2005 Postseason.

8. David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox hits a walk off home run off Paul Quantrill of the New York Yankees in Game four of the American League Championship Series, forcing a Game 5. This is not the first walk off home run for Ortiz in this tournament, he had another one against Jarrod Washburn in Game three of the American League division Series to put the Red Sox up to this point. 

7. New York Yankees third baseman Aaron Boone hits a home run off Tim Wakefield of the Boston Red Sox in the bottom of the 11th inning. The Yankees would eventually lose to the Marlins in the World Series.

6. David Wright of the New York Mets, hits his first ever walk off home run off the San Diego Padres in the 2008 regular season. He never had a walk off home run ever, not even high school nor college.

5. Robin Ventura of the New York Mets hits a grand slam off Kevin Glinchy of the Braves, however it’s a “grand slam single” because he was unable to touch all four bases, in Game 5 of the 1999 National League Championship Series. The Mets eventually lost that series! 

4. Magglio Ordonez of the Detroit Tigers hits a game winning three run home run off Huston Street of the Oakland Athletics, thus completing a sweep of the 2006 ALCS. The Tigers would eventually lose to the St Louis Cardinals in the World Series.

3. How about a grand opening of Nationals Park? Ryan Zimmerman of the Washington Nationals hits a walk off shot against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday Night Baseball. That’s how to get things started for the Nats in 2008! 

2. Alex Rodriguez hits a walk off grand slam off Chris Ray of the Baltimore Orioles in 2007. This is his third career walk off Grand Slam.

1. My number one favorite walk off home run moment has to go to Jim Thome of the Chicago White Sox. He hits it off Angels pitcher Dustin Moseley in the 2007 Regular season. What make this more special is that it was his 500th of his career. 

 
To be quite honest, it was hard selecting my favorite walk off home runs, I never been to a game that involved a walk off hit, nor a grand slam. I have had been to games that involved multiple home runs though.
