Yes it was a second baseman and yes it was dramatic and for you guys it was much more than that. But from an objective opinion, it ranks down a bit in terms of playoff walk-off homeruns:

Mazeroski's is the number one in my book as it won a World Series in which the Pirates were seriously outhit and out scored.

Number two is Joe Carter in 1993 only because it also won a World Series.

Number three - Carlton Fisk 1975 staved off elimination and the image of Carlton signaling fair is something I won't forget.

Number four - Sorry but it has to be David Ortiz on Sunday night as it also prevented elimination.

Number five - Kent - very dramatic as it was only the third hit by the Astros and the little helmet flip coming into home along with his silly giggle was cool. But remember it didn't win a series and did not prevent elimination.

I'm sure there were other dramatic playoff walk-offs, but I don't recall them right now. (Now I just realized how silly that sounds - how could a playoff walkoff not be dramatic)

Since you brought up no-walkoffs

Most dramatic non-walk off home run in a game that was eventually won: Dave Henderson for the Boston Red Sox against the California Angels stopped the Angels from their first WS appearance and eventually caused pitcher Donnie Moore to take his own life.

Danny DeVito - born November 17, 1944 would make him almost 16 when Maz hit that HR - I think the guy in the picture is older than 16.
