Yes.

You remember the Albert Belle vs. Fernando Vina incident a few years ago. Belle wasn't called out.

What very few people know about that incident is that in Belle's prior at bat, he had the same play happen, and he just stopped, let himself be tagged and Vina completed the double play. He got his a$$ chewed by his coach for that.

Next at bat, same exact thing happens, except this time Belle plows Vina.

The rest, as they say, is history...
