It mentions it in the ESPN blogs I think. Anyways it happened back in like '56 or something so I wouldn't be suprised if but a couple people remembered it.

There was actually a much more blatant version of it in football. Can't remember if it was pro or college but it was during the days of black and white. A player was actually make a wide open run for the end zone when a player from the opposing team ran off the sideline and tackled the runner.
