I also hate the"walk off" single or double as it isn't really a walk-off if the player has to bust his ass to get home and may or may not be safe.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The "walk-off" means that we don't have to finish this half inning. We're just going to walk off of the field. It doesn't imply that you were able to score a run by actually walking across the plate.
And I can't believe anyone would have any problem with ball players celebrating a victory. Baseball is so regulated that you never get a chance to celebrate anything. Heaven forbid a team act like they actually give a shit.
