I tried that in a Legion game when I was 17. The catcher (who ended up playing in the Cubs system for awhile) blocked the plate well and came up the line. I had no choice, so I tried to jump over him. I couldn't do a somersault, but I did get some good air...save for me kicking off his skull cap.
Needless to say, I was called out for not sliding, and the other team's coach tried to have me kicked out of the game (I was pitching a shutout at the time).
Ah, what memories. Now all I do is tweak my hip when I try to pitch. WTF is up with that?
