Discussion: Sliding Part 2

Posted	Discussion
Oct. 19, 2012 HJ Men's 65 354 posts	Sliding Part 2 I recently re-read the "sliding" thread and was about to draw some conclusions when I read in another thread about a 2B whose leg was broken by a slider. This injury is a replay of what I sickeningly saw last year. The purpose of this thread is to ask if you are aware of any serious injuries to fielders as a result of a slide. It is not to place blame on the slider or fielder but to try to determine if this is an issue or just a freak event. Thanks for your help.

Probably less fielders get taken out by slides then infielders get hit by balls off the special bats. Not trying to get back on my soapbox, just pointing out what I have noticed over the years.
