Who hit the most foul balls in one at bat?
According to Mike Attiyeh, 15. Pitcher: Bob Feller. Batter: Luke Appling (White Sox). Year: 1940. "Foul ball records are not kept, but baseball author Bill James once wrote that Roy Thomas, who played in the National League from 1899 to 1911, fouled off 22 pitches in one at-bat. Hall of Famer Luke Appling reputedly hit 17 fouls while waiting for a pitch he liked. Appling, Chicago White Sox shortstop who won the 1936 AL batting championship with a .388 average, was a master at deliberately fouling off pitches. Another legend is that Appling once hit 14 foul balls into the stands to get even with a team owner who would not give him two extra gamepasses for friends." Jack Dittmer, a back-up second baseman for the Milwaukee Braves in the mid 1950's, fouled off approximately 22 pitches in a game broadcast by WTMJ radio in Milwaukee. Earl Gillespie and Blaine Walsh were the broadcasters. Perhaps the station has tapes of their old broadcasts which could verify the exact number.
Was there ever a foul balls and you're out rule in baseball?
I'm almost positive that sometime in the mid to late 50's, maybe only in the American League, and for a short period - maybe only a year or so, that rule was instituted. It was the result of several consecutive years when batters would try to wear the pitcher out with fouling the ball off instead of trying to get a hit. Unfortunately, the only substantiation I've ever been able to run across, was The Statler Brothers. That line is in their lyrics for "Do You Remember These?" "Four foul balls - yer out!" Perhaps in the decade after the game was first started, perhaps; in softball leagues, perhaps; in the women's leagues during the 40's, perhaps; in local games in local communities by agreement to speed up the game, perhaps. PS. I just checked on the Rules through the 20th Century and I can't find anything about four foull balls and your "OUT". No, there has never been a rule concerning calling a batter out for fouling off pitches with the exception that the foul was due to a failed bunt attempt on a third strike. Actually, before 1901 in the National League and 1903 in the American League there was a rule called the No Foul Strike rule. This rule stated that foul balls were only counted as strikes in three instances: a failed bunt attempt, a foul tip, and if the umpire judged that the batter had not made an 'honest' attempt to hit the ball into fair territory. The third instance was very rarely used and only when the umpire deemed the batter to be fooled by the pitch and was swinging solely to make contact and not have the pitch by called a strike by the umpire. Definitely, yes! I grew up in the 1950s and 60s going to Wrigley Field and foul balls were counted - 4 and you're out. They even listed foul balls on TV. But then I moved to Maine and by the time I was willing to watch the Red Sox, that rule was gone, somewhere in the mid 70s. But I definitely remember it! Cubbies and Red Sox Lady
