Sliding has long been the safest way to reach a base or score. It is important that the base runner’s body has to touches the ground before contact. This shows that the runner:

  1. Did not intentionally cause contact
  2. Attempted to slow down or soften the impact
  3. Did not “deviate from the pathway”

The best way to combat this rule change is seen in the hook slide – a personal favorite shown below. Look to see players utilize this technique to avoid contact in future games.

Her father leaves her, his little baby, to drown in the pool. This may be symbolic of the way Anne felt as a child dealing with the divorce of her parents; she moved to Texas with her mother after the split at the age of seven. In an interview, she said:
