Sliding headfirst is the safest way to get to the next base, I think, and the fastest. You don`t lose your momentum, and there`s one more important reason I slide headfirst, it gets my picture in the paper.
- Pete RoseI didn`t want to go headfirst because I`m thinking, if he goes feet-first, then I get spiked. I guess he wasn`t really thinking about that too much because he went in headfirst. I thought I might have broken his arm or something at first, but he was OK.
