The most amazing, imho, thing about the Balk-Off was that Stanton had yet to throw a pitch for his new team (Nats) when he balked home the winning run. I can't believe that a pitcher has ever allowed a walk off run without ever pitching for the team before. I was at the game and knew at the time it was the first time the Nats would see him pitch. I was so upset when I saw Rickie get picked off. My sadness swelled to utter joy while watching Rickie start clapping my hands, as I figured out what was going on.
