I'm not aware of any attempt. Silvam said in another thread that he thinks the cornfield would be difficult to model. I can imagine a couple of ways to do it, but I agree it'd be tough to have work out well. Based on a model I'm working on now for a fictional park with stacked hay bales as the outfield wall, putting in individual corn stalks would be a bit of a hassle but the real problem would be that the .obj file for the model would probably end up well over 100 Mb for a satisfying number of corn stalks (typically these files are less than 2 Mb, sometimes less than 1 Mb) and I'm not sure how well that would run. Alternately, one could try to do it with the right texture projected on a plane (or planes), but it might only look good from a very limited number of camera angles (and perhaps only with "follow ball" turned off).
If I find time I could try to experiment, but time for experimentation has been a rare commodity these days...
