BUT if they slide legally it isn't cheating. "Legal" is much different in OBR vs. FED.

I agree Rich, I was going off the OP that the runner was beyond his reach of the base. Although I've seen it called in MLB, it's rare at that level. My first thoguht was that the fielder was in front of the bag, which I would agree legal.
