I'm with Mike, when you get to the level where you are paid to play then you can get rid of some of the rules that are there to minimize injuries, but when it's recreational rules need to be in place that protect people. Fake tags get people sliding and we all know that slides have been known to turn into trips to the hospital (we had to remind our park district of this when they actually used the words "must slide" in a rule).
MLB says you can take out a catcher to dislodge a ball or slide into 2nd steel up to break up a double play and that's fine but I know people that would slide steel up in a non-competitive co-rec game if we let them and does anybody really want that?
