Physicists Say Headfirst Slide to Base Faster, Maybe : "Headfirst slides are better than feet-first slides, says Washington University physicist and baseball fan David Peters.
According to Peters, it's simple physics: As a runner slides headfirst, the body's center of gravity -- and therefore its momentum -- is thrust forwards. Slide feet first, and the body's center of gravity falls backwards, away from the base."
