Fun fact: The walk off actually refers to the pitcher, not the batter. “Walk-off piece was only intended to describe a pitcher's dejected walk off the field after giving up a game-losing home run, but it soon grew into its own phenomenon.“ LINK

Not really a fun fact, the “walk off” has always been attributed to the away team “walking off the field” when they lose the game in the bottom frame of the last inning before getting 3 outs.

Tiger2424 - That would make the "fun" part of the fact attributed to the Home Team obviously. Seeing how the "WALK OFF" is now attributed to the Home team for scoring the go ahead, winning run in the Bottom of the Last Inning before getting their 3rd out.
