As a kid...we used only wooden bats. I sat there once...barely 30 feet from the batter when he swung and the bat broke. The broke end came my direction and fell around five feet from me. I sat there and thought...man, it’d be great to have steel bats that wouldn’t break. Maybe I was wrong though.

I don't know if you are wrong or not. Sometime in the next couple weeks MLB is having a meeting to discuss the danger of the bats they are now using (wood). They have changed the wood they use and they are breaking often. Has become a real hazard, and pretty dangerous.

They’re not steel, they’re aluminum.
