Yes, they was. Last year and again, this year.

While I have heard this bandied about, I've not seen any statistical studies in
support.  Head first slides are banned in many youth baseball leagues, though
it is my belief that there is an allowance for returning to a base.

To what league are you refering and can you site references?
