Has anyone ever run a historical sim (real players, randomly distributed) in which a real life MLB father and son played, but in the sim, the son came into the majors first and then the father a generation or more later?

For example, Ken Griffey Jr plays in the 1890s and 1900s while Ken Griffey Sr plays in the 1940s and 1950s?

I've run some sims and have checked for the careers of Barry/Bobby Bonds or the Griffeys but haven't had that happen yet.

Anyone ever run a sim and noticed that a father's career started much later than the son's?

I wonder if it's somehow built in that a "Jr" can't play before a "Sr" ?
