That happened very rarely, however. I forget where I got these numbers from, but here are the number of long-term hold-outs (defined as 30 days or more) and the number that held out for the entire season for the 20th century. Years not listed had no hold-outs in either category.

As you can see, there were very few long-term hold-outs.
