That doesn't negate the fact that Pre-1940 WWII, to 1964, to 1988, to 2012; not one run, ZERO MLB people have scored on a succesful defensive time-play at first base. Real umpires just won't allow it.

How many times could it have happened? That would be my question.
The obvious play is on the batter runner at 1B, that's why we probably haven't seen it very often.
