My first year in little league we were taught that the proper way to slide was using the mechanics of what is now essential known as a "pop up slide". Basically feet first with one leg bent underneath your strait leg to cushion the transition to the dirt smoothly, and you can pop up if you need to once your momentum carries you to the bag. We went undefeated that 1st year of baseball and won the Championship. Our coaches taught us excellently all about baseball. We also had a name for head first slides. We called it "doing a Pete Rose". It became a dare for some of the kids. Personally I never understood Pere Rose slides or head first slides. I see how easy it is to do a big ole belly flop by accident and knock the wind out of yourself, or worse, get injured. Getting hit in the head by a throw or an attempted tag or getting your hand stepped on by a basemen is a good example of the risk. I'd rather do a hook slide. -

I don't mean to spout off, but this is a spectacular failure on the part of the Orioles. He had all of that pressure AND they pulled the plug after 3 weeks. Of course he will come back, hopefully better than ever, and we will all forget about this, but to me, it just feels like they've mishandled him so far this year. Which is unusual given their recent track record.
