Richie Ashburn
Hitting the same woman twice during that epic run of 19 foul balls, Richie Ashburn also hit a foul ball that landed on a ledge above the window of the press box; the next foul ball knocked off the previous one and they both fell. I was there that day -- it was the only Phillies game I ever attended.
There is no limit on the number of foul balls.

FOUL BALLS
A foul shot or foul stroke
Well, I'm guessing it has to do with the Turkey balls, which are the things that hang from the turkey's neck. So a ball in foul territory is a foul ball, and the things under a turkey's neck are fowl balls. That's all I got. Anybody else?
Not as far as I know. In the 1960's I observed a Major League game where a batter fouled off 21 consecutive pitches.

Yes, foul balls are a common occurrence in baseball and can happen during any game. They occur when a batted ball lands outside the designated fair territory, typically when a player swings and misses or makes contact but sends the ball in a direction that goes foul. Foul balls can add excitement to the game, especially when fans try to catch them. They're also significant in counting strikes; a player can accumulate up to three strikes before being out, but foul balls do not count against that limit unless it's a foul tip caught by the catcher.
It depends on how the game is being played. Most of the time, foul balls don't count as a strike; you can hit a ton of foul balls while you're up to bat and it won't matter. If you're playing a strict game of baseball, though, if you go up to bat and hit two foul balls, they count as strikes. Then, if you miss the ball or whatever, that would be your third strike. And you're out. :) Foul balls count as strikes when every the batter does not have two strikes, once a batter gets two strikes foul balls are no longer counted as strikes.
