I ask this because I recently calculated the chances of a player being drafted into military service in WWII, based on the real MLB rosters. For those who wanted to recreate the effects a war might have on team rosters, they now had some guiding percentages with which to apply to the players.

I detailed the results here http://www.400softwarestudios.com/bo...threadid=30553

It certainly would be another interesting event to add to the list of things that could happen...
I actually posted a version I found of it here:

It can get as detailed as something only happening one in every 250,000 times, so it could handle that.
