Question
what is the rule on head first sliding
Mario,
As far as I know, there is no over arching rule against head first sliding. Individual leagues may pass rules banning it for safety, but basically, the reason the rule exists that requires helmets is to protect the players in cases like this.
Hope this helps!
Brian
