Hint
A walk-off home run is a home run that ends the game because there is no way for the other team to comeback.Answer
This couldn't happen because the Yankees still have to come up in the bottom of the ninth inning. A walk-off home run can only come from the home team which was the Yankees.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

I absoloutley dont know anyhing about baseball even though my dad use to play littleleague
for us non-baseball knowledgable people, make sure you add who plays for who
Good one! Very clever!
This is highly pedantic, but there's a way it could happen. If the Yankees last game in Boston for the year got rained out, and the teams still had a scheduled game in New York, the game might be made up as part of a double header in New York. Thus there could be a game at Yankee stadium where the Red Sox are the home team.
either way it's still the TOP of the ninth

As a person from England (A Brit) I have no idea what this means at all.
Very easy for anyone who follows baseball.
