In basketball, one of the most hotly debated rules surrounds whether or not a player’s hand is considered an extension of the ball when it's in contact with the ball.

On Sunday, we got the MLB version of that rule on a slide you have to see to believe.

With one out in the first inning as the Blue Jays faced the Guardians, Justin Turner took off for second base on a wild pitch, and he was called out after the ball beat him there.

But in what looked like a bit of divine intervention, Turner was able to avoid the tag with a helping hand from his helmet, which landed in the perfect spot to deflect Daniel Schneemann’s tag.

Since Turner's helmet was still touching him but wasn't on his head, MLB’s replay office overturned the call and ruled him safe after a Blue Jays challenge:

“After viewing all relevant angles, the Replay Official definitively determined that the fielder failed to tag the runner prior to the runner touching second base. Per The Official Baseball Rules, to touch a player during a tag is to touch any part of his body, or any uniform or equipment worn by him. Equipment shall be considered worn by a player if it is in contact with its intended place on his person. The call is OVERTURNED, the runner is safe.”

While Turner’s attempt at a swim tag won’t go down as one of the best slides in MLB history, the subsequent aftermath was far more memorable.
