Thirty teams, each team playing 162 games every year since 1962 or so, 154 games every year before that since the early 1900s, not sure about the exact number but that would be more than a quarter million major league baseball games played since they started keeping records, in that many games that's bound to have happened more than just once. It seems to me, anyway.
