Was this for both teams or just for yours? Either way in a MLB setup with 3 levels of minors and the rate you mention you would have 59 or 119 X 20 HP plays to consider. That's 1180 or 2380 instances. Easy to see why your 20+ might not have come up snake eyes yet.

Edit

There were 509 outs at HP in MLB in 2013. That means 1 out every 9.55 games. Since not all outs at HP are of the outfield to home as you describe then that rate may be 1 in 11-13.
