Sliding and diving are two different animals. Sliding head first retreating to a base, is different than diving over a fielder in retreating to a base. Read the definitions in a dictionary.

I have read the dictionary and while these are 2 different acts, the result is the same - The player lands head first. In fact diving is probably more dangerous than sliding.

Common Bob you have heard the expression - The player DIVES back in safely. When a player dives back in safely it is considered a form of a head first slide.

This is probably a good one for eteamz.
