Actually, I have seen that a few times over the years.
What I haven't seen or heard of before is what happened to Miami the night that Giancarlo Stanton was beaned. The ump ruled that he offered at the pitch (he did not) and thus it was a swinging strike that hit him in the face. Then, on the very next pitch, the pinch hitter that came in for Stanton mid-AB was hit by the same pitcher, on the hand, and again the ump ruled that he swung for strike three. Two pitches, two guys hit, and one strikeout the result. Seems unlikely that has happened before.
