the "it's never better to dive into first base instead of running through the bag" inaccuracy?
Seems like the common supporting evidence for that by little-league and high school coaches nationwide was always "if it was faster then you'd see Olympic track athletes do it".
That, and a really poorly done "Sports Science" episode.
It's faster to run through the bag most of the time, but in certain situations a dive is absolutely faster.
