It's nlot just at a high level.
I got hit in a 16-year olds league because the guy ahead of me hit ne over an ice cream truck parked on a street beyond center field. I went looking to steal second and spike the 2B. Previous season stomped on opposing catcher's foot because they guy had it on home plate when my guy scored. A team from Laurel didn't try to break up a DP after their runner slid late and body-high as our SS threw side-arm toward 1B. SS had a strong arm -- he was a backup pitcher -- and he throw hit he runner snack in the forehead. No runners wore batting helmets on base.
Heck, I once carved a gash in the shin-guards of a catcher from Hyattsville and he was a childhood friend. I slide high enough to miss his feet, though.
That's baseball.
