I hope your proposal on 4-6-D is not approved. With due acknowledgment of WMB's
late arrival to this, this sentence is my favorite sentence in the entire ASA rule book! I've been ridiculing it for years! It has that "throw the cow over the fence some hay" non-sensical quality. It will truely be a sad day if it is removed!
I like the removing the moistened fingers from the foreign substance rule.
The definition of a legal slide states the purposes of the slide in order for it to be legal. The rest is left to judgment. In WMB's example, if the umpire judged that the purpose of the spikes high action was to contact the defender with the spikes, it would no longer be a legal slide. That's the way I read the definition, anyway.
