I'm a pitcher and when a team hits the middle I don't get that mad because I've got leather on my hand just like everyone else. With that said most teams I've played on will hit the middle on the other team till that person that hit the middle on me comes up and says sorry. I got **** happens...
I had about 500 swings on mine and it bit the dust it has a crack about 7" long on it. Buddy of mine had about the same number of swings on his and after he hit a bomb his cracked too. So swing it till it's dead!!!
