Very rarely. In my 3 years I had only one real douchebag. Celebrating hits when we were up 8 runs, talking smack after a long foul ball while still at bat. Total DB. I had every intention of buzzing him when I came to pitch but of course he comes up with bases loaded. So I threw inside but on the plate because I didn't want a HBP or passed ball. Struck him out swinging
Had one incident last year where an opposing team thought our managers 17 year old son, who was coaching third for us, was heckling his pitcher. He wasn't. Guy threatened to throw at some of our guys but never did.
I play in an over 38 league so we are grown ups for the most part. And it is very rec, no real superstars, so egos are mostly in check.
How about going in hard on the basepaths, etc?
I played company softball, and the marines on our team were a little, uh, unafraid of seeking contact. It was almost embarrassing at times.
This is awesome though. Does anyone play rec football too? I've always wondered what the hell that would be like for adults. I see 'em practicing sometimes in shoulder pads / helmets at the nearby park, and know a few guys who do it, haven't talked to them for years tho, just see their pictures on facebook lol.
