DG- Thanks for the case book I guess I am getting caught up on the terminology, As I stated before I know there are illegal slides.. but you are never required to slide and on a force play he/she does not have to slide.. they can slide or run in a direction away from the fielder to avoid making contact or altering the play of the fielder.I think we would both make the same call you or some of the senior members may call it due to FPSR I may call because of a illegal slide.To me the Term "FORCE PLAY SLIDE RULE" means you are required to slide on a force play.And in the case book it is only because they made contact due to an illegal slide.
