Nope. A standard plate brush will last me 10-12 years. The bottom of my shoe will last forever. I use the brush between inninga, and maybe after a play at the plate that covered it up. Other times I use the bottom of my shoe when there is some other delay that affords me the time to swipe it a couple times with my foot.
Natural dirt? Natural dirt, in my area, is black, and not to be found in the infield of a ballfield. These are a sand/clay mixture.
