As a manager, I'm often asked by the players if they can slide into base head first. The simple answer is "No". Headfirst slides are not allowed in Little League. The player is to be called out. Thursday's injury to Oakland A's player, Josh Reddick, underscores the inherent danger in this play. Here's a description of the injury, "Upon reaching base on a single in the seventh, Reddick successfully stole second, but in doing so his left thumb clipped second baseman Starlin Castro's cleat." The full article can be read here at the Oakland A's web site: Reddick fractures left thumb on headfirst slide. Reddick is now on the disabled list and is expected to miss at least four weeks.
