If this was a softball game...

Was the slide legal?

Would you have called interference on the retired runner? Why or why not?

If yes, who would have been out?

NOTE: I don't care what the MLB rule is, whether the MLB umpires called it correctly, whether this stuff used to be allowed in MLB, etc., etc. It is just that this play provides a nice visual aid for discussing legal slides, IMO.

The moron runner gave a completely different description than what the video showed. He kept saying "slide" and that wasn't even close.
