I really like the double first base. I think it adds to the safety of the game. I don't notice it any easier or harder to make a call, but I think it saves ankles! Again JMO but I think they should put it in! IMO it is needed at first and not the other bases cause 1st is the only base you can run through, 2nd 3rd and home you slide into 1st you are still running full blast when you would make contact with the fielder's unprotected ankle. Not that a hard slide wouldn't do damage, but a cleet to the achilles at full speed can ruin you summer!!!!!
