Why isn't a headfirst slide a slide? You can slide head first under PONY baseball rules, and Little League Juniors, Seniors, and Big League levels as well. The only two instances where headfirst slides are illegal that I can think of are LL Majors and below, and under FED rules. It's not just for MLB.

What you can't do is dive into the catcher, but sliding on the ground headfirst is normally allowed.
