The slide is an important part of baseball. With a good slide, a base runner can elude the tag of an infielder on a close play, thereby remaining on base, or perhaps even allowing a run to score on that particular play. A good slide is much more than planting your butt in the dirt; it takes technique and practice. But your hard work will be worth the effort when the game is on the line as you try to stretch a single into a double and your heel touches the second base bag just underneath the sweeping tag of the shortstop. Safe! Then you become the go-ahead run and break the tie as you cross home plate, a hero to all of the home team supporters in the stands.
