I've seen good hitting teams foul off pitch after pitch lately, until they get the one they want or walk. It seems they just want to wear down the starting pitcher and get to the bullpen.

I can't provide a citation, but I remember watching Bagwell duke it out a few years ago. Foul, foul, foul, foul, it just kept on going, had to be at least 12 pitches. Ultimately he struck out swinging, but wow, that was an entertaining at-bat, just for the suspense, the battle, the determination.

The longest at-bat I ahve ever seen was by me. I went 18 pitches in an all-star game, my result was a double. I ended up scoring but we lost 14-13. It was a 3-2 count, and I fouled off 13 pitches. 7 in a row.

Bottom 9th, 2 out, tied score, 1 on, June 4, 1989 at Fenway. David Wells pitching in relief after a blown save by Tom Henke, and Marty Barrett hitting. Barrett fouled off pitch and after pitch, with a 3-ball count, and saw a total of 14 pitches. He grounded out, 4-3, and unfortunately, on his way down the line, he caught a cleat and tore up his knee. Even if he hadn't, he was out easily on that finally "routine" grounder.
(The game was won in the top of the 12th, on a 2 run HR by Junior Felix, off of Dennis Lamp. Duane Wards, who had come in to start the 10th, was the pitcher of record for the win, and stayed in to pitch the bottom of the 12th as well.)

In 1984, Detroit Tigers first baseman Dave Bergman saw 12 pitches before he finally hit a home run.

I think the longest at bat I can remember seeing was Jeremy Giambi of the Oakland A's a few years ago.
It was at least four minutes. He ended up flying out to center field. This was against the White Sox.
