Once. Something like 27-0 in the second inning of the second game of a DH. First game ended something like 35-2. I called an out at first when the lead foot hit the bag before F3 caught the throw, but the trail foot hadn't yet crossed the base. It was as much a "game management" call (the defense was well past "resigning themselves to losing" and on the way to "taking out their frustrations on the winning team") as an attempt to get home early.
