The rule as I stated says if the runner slides beyond the base and makes contact (does not require a play) then the runner is OUT.

You said quote: "Had there been a play, I would have called him out for the illegal slide."

I was just wondering how many have called OUT for contact with NO PLAY...
No one.

R1 stealing, F2 doesn't handle the pitch and has to chase it. There is no throw to 2nd. R1 slides past the bag and gently contacts F6. Are you going to call R1 out for interference?
