As long as the sacrifice fly has been a part of the MLB rules the batter has not been charged with a time at bat. However, the rule has been discontinued and continued several times. MLB started the sacrifice fly rule in the 1908 season. It was discontinued in the 1931 season only to become a rule again in 1939. It was discontinued again in 1940 and restarted in 1954.
So there was no sacrifice fly rule in MLB prior to 1908, between 1931-1938, and between 1940-1953.

The rule regarding foul balls in baseball changed in 1901. Prior to this change, a player could be called out after hitting four foul balls on the same at-bat. The current rule allows a batter to hit an unlimited number of foul balls, except for the third strike, before being declared out.
