Last week, in a AAA game between Denver and Indianapolis, the 
following happened:

10th inning, tie score.  Andres Galaragra of Indy is at the plate
with an 0-2 count.  He swings at a wild pitch (which the catcher had
no chance of stopping), and thus reaches first base.
He later scores the winning run.

I do not know if he knew what he was doing, but the pitch was so far
out of the strike zone that maybe he DID strike out purposely to
reach first.
