The expression may have existed earlier, but by 1860, it was in use by newspapers, to report on the game of Baseball. While the rules back then were somewhat different from today, a batter was called out after three strikes. The expression "three strikes, you're out" was also made popular by the hit song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," which was written in 1908 and became very popular.

What is the origin of the bowling term turkey?

According to TopEndSports.com, the term originated in the late 1800's when scoring three strikes in a row was much more difficult than it is now. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, bowling alley proprietors would award a turkey for bowlers who scored three strikes in a row. In the old days of bowling, scores were lower and strikes did not happen as often as they do now. In the old days, during the holidays, the proprietor of a bowling center would present a live turkey to the first person on a team to bowl three consecutive strikes. you get a turkey (real) after 3 strikes in a row.. I could use one right now.. I'm hungry
