You mean the same guys that think the hands are part of the bat, you are automatically out if you leave the basepath, someone must be out if two runners are touching the same base simultaneously, that if the IF touches the ball it is an IDB if s/he lets it go to the ground, etc.? Yep, there are some voices of authority

Just because someone refers to something doesn't make it factual. Of course, now we are back to the same people who think the MLB's championship is truly a "World Series" when obviously, it is not.

Think about it. When a player slides into a base, do they call it an "*** first" slide or a feet first slide? Just calling 'em as I see 'em. Have you ever seen anyone actually lead with their head into a base? If so, that must be one wild and crazy guy or gal!
