Walk Off Wild Plea
Aug 20, 2007 | 12:23PM | report this

In response to the recent realization that the most overused term on ESPN is "walk off..," I wanted to particiapate in the walk off craze.  The other night me and my buddy are riding through Atlanta listening to the Braves broadcast and heard the audio replay for a walk off wild pitch.  Pure excitement I tell you.  It got us wondering why do they even have the stat "walk off rbi."  Why not walk off run scored?  Then we realized how appropriate and necessary the walk off stat is.

How about Ryan Braun is the league leader in walk off 3-2 pitches that would have been balls but were swung at to end the game.

Hanley Ramirez is the league leader in walk off pop-ups caught. 

I even heard that Laz Diaz is the league leader in walk off called third strikes.

Here's more...

Pete Rose is the league leader in walk off broken legs.

Randy Johnson is the league leader in walk off exploding pigeons.

Outside of the game of baseball...

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the league leader in walk off on your step mom's business.

Michael Vick is a dual league leader.  He takes the cake in both walk off dead pit bulls in the ground and the league leader in walk off and turn in 30 other NFL players who participate in pit bull fighting.

 

Until my next Walk Off Wednesday...
