Walk-Off Balk

Last week (July 15th) Mike Stanton of the Nationals committed a balk that ended the game in Milwaukee's 4-3 victory. Sensing that this was a rarity some industrious SABR members have dug a bit and found the following other instances where a walk-off balk occurred:

  • May 28, 1989. NYM 3 @ LAD 4. Roger McDowell took the loss.

  • July 4, 1993. FLA 3 @ ATL 4. Matt Turner took the loss. Ed Rapuano called the balk.

  • April 28, 2000. TEX 3 @ BAL 4. Jeff Zimmerman took the loss. Ian Lamplugh called the balk.

  • May 8, 2000. ATL 2 @ FLA 3. John Rocker took the loss. Mike DiMuro called the balk.

  • April 19, 2004. OAK 1 @ SEA 2. Justin Duchscherer took the loss.
    Mike DiMuro called the balk.

  • July 15, 2005. WAS 3 @ MIL 4. Mike Stanton took the loss. Paul Schrieber called the balk.


  • And who says baseball isn't endlesss fascinating?

    If I recall correctly, Rocker's balk was a rulebook balk, not a judgment call, when he dropped the ball accidentally.

    For an umpire, this had to be one of the gutsiest calls to make!
