Illegal slide in every level except this one. I, for one, wish MLB would adopt OBR rules. No, really - actually adopt them and not allow these kinds of collisions (both on DP's and on plate plays).
But in MLB, until things change - there was nothing wrong with this slide. Mattie gets one in the earhole next year, and we move on.

Mike, I can see where full-up adoption of 7.09e would penalize this play on a DP. But what rule in OBR, if adopted as you lament, would prohibit a scoring runner from crashing into the catcher?
