I remember a time when Babe Ruth rules did not prohibit running into the catcher maliciously. In fact, I petitioned Babe Ruth to make a change, along with several videos fo bad collisions. The rule was changed to prohibit malicious contact (umpire judgement). But there has never been a must slide rule in Babe Ruth, or anywhere else I know of, except Rec leagues who make up their own special rules.
