Back to the original post. My thought would be the myth comes from ignorant coaches who were ignorant players. When they were a wee lil lad their coach told them "You don't slide into first" This being a logical statement as you will maintain your speed while overrunning the base. Over the years their pea sized braind substituted the word don't from their coaches with the word can't and have not thought about the logic behind what their coach told them years ago.

Even Tim McCarver wouldn't say something that dumb.
