The point of the FPSR in FED and NCAA was to eliminate the runner going towards the fielder for safety issues... This is a clear violation of FED and NCAA FPSR. That's not picking at anything... Thats what they want called.

You're the one who erroneously stated that it is illegal to slide past the bag in FED. False. Only if:

c. the runner goes beyond the base and then makes contact with or alters the play of the fielder

he slid past the bag, no doubt ....but didn't interfere with an impending play

Sliding past the bag is legal in OBR and NCAA.  Only illegal in high school rules.

Nobody was going to go there with Hirschbeck at 2B. Could have been called by MLB/OBR rules.

Maybe could have. Never will be.

The OP  asked why the slide wasn't called as illegal. Did you watch the video?  The runner DID make contact with the fielder. Therefore an illegal slide in FED.

 

The FED rule is makes contact OR (not and) alters the play.  Only has to violate either provision.
