I can’t find video of it, but know that MLB Network host and future Fox A-team color commentator Harold Reynolds was asked about Josh Hamilton’s injury last night and said “I don’t have a problem with it” and “It’s faster to dive than run through.”
Which is why you always see sprinters slide head first into the tape during the Olympic 100 meters.
I don’t mean to cause too much FRICTION here because Harold Reynolds is a nice guy and I won’t wish to cover him WITH DIRT. Indeed, anything that SLOWS the baseball commetariat’s creep into constant arguing over what A PLAYER does is something we should not be DOWN with at all.
