Other than the Hrbek play, not really.

Depends on what you feel is relevant. There have been many, many outs called when a tag or bump results in a runner coming off the bag.
"Cross body block"? No. The fielder fell while making a normal baseball move. He did not throw a block. Runner is out at MLB level.
