Text	[from Chadwick's column] In regard to “times at bat,” I am unable to see the correctness of the rule which does not charge a “time at bat” to the batsman who has had one or more strikes called on him, or who has given the field a chance for catching a foul ball, and who is afterwards given his base on called balls, on being hit with a pitched ball, or on a balk made by an illegal delivery. In my opinion, if the batsman has had one opportunity for hitting at a fair ball and has either struck at it without hitting it, or declined to strike at it, or has hit foul so as to afford the field a fair chance for a catcher, he should be charged with a time at bat. The Sporting Life November 16, 1887 [N.B. The 1887 rules counted an at bat on a base on balls]
