Default The Movie 'Electra Glide in Blue' has nothing to do with this, but...

This made me think of at least that movie title:

In years past, the pop-up slide was used almost universally.


With a nod to the actual physics involving the head-first slide possibly getting you there quicker, there has been and ever-increasing number of finger and hand injures as byproducts. Now baserunners are using modified overn-mitts.


Trea Turner realized all the harm that can come from head-first slides and has perfected an 'old alternative'. Fun to watch. IMO
