Not saying rare stuff doesn't happen. I see guys get in run downs. See guys get hit by line drives. See catcher's interference, etc. But not every rare event that can or has happened in MLB is available as a possible event in OOTP. My assumption is that it is much harder to code the frequency of a rare event in such a way as to seem realistic than it is to code something that happens more frequently, such as grounding out to the shortstop. If the frequency of grounding out to the shortstop is off a couple of percentage points, most people wouldn't notice. If the frequency of a rare event happens 2% of the time instead of 0.2% of the time, people will notice.
