I remember that play. It caused a lot of debate. It was a feet-first slide to the side and the runner reached out with his hand to touch the base. I defended the umpire's call because I did not believe it was a head-first slide at the time. I still don't. It was a head-first touch of the base, but the slide itself was feet-first which is perfectly legal.
