i'm not looking for an example, because personal incredulity is a logical fallacy too. upto you to prove yourself right.
what they did in the minors is important? meh to that. you're either moving the goal line or being too specific in order to exclude most things due to technicalities. i.e. when someone gives a fairly good equivalent, you add requirements or have impossible standards for the comparison.
you pose it as a question, but it is not a question to you. you 'believe' and there's no arguing wiht believers. (specifically only about this exact topic.)
it doesn't seem weird at all.. especially if not frequent. an isolated example is not needed to prove anything or disprove anything. although in this case an occurence is disproving non-existence, which is relevant, but not much esle.

So something not happening in over 100 years of baseball history is an "anecdotal example"?
Also anecdotal examples may not prove anything but they do provide evidence that something is possible.
