A very similar play happened to Kerwin Danley in Oakland (vs. NYY) 10 to 12 years ago.
R1, three balls to batter, two outs. R1 takes off and slides. He overslid second base and Jeter put the tag on him. Danley just put his hands up and said "it was ball four" (or words to that effect). Jeter then pointed out that R1 had overslid the bag. Danley had the look of "oh my god, you're right" and banged the runner out.
I've seen this play on tape several times.
