Limiting the number of fouls a hitter can make would radically change the game and for the worse. It would lead to more strikeouts and would punish smart hitters. The dynasty Yankees of the 90s lived on wearing out pitchers by fouling of marginal pitches. Ill never forget Wade Boggs in the 96 WS working a walk on an 18 pitch at bat against the Braves. Penalizing hitters is not the answer.
