I'd be surprised if anyone in Major League Baseball had done that in the last 100 years or so. The official rule on it is is 7.05, which states:
"Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance -- . . .
(c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril."

I believe that the runners/batter are all advanced three bases in a delayed dead-ball. I am a youth league umpire, and that is the rule on high school leagues. HS rules are derived from MLB rules.
Actually, the rule is true for any fielder interfering with the course of a hit ball by throwing their glove. So, theoretically, if a fast batter was already at first when the interference occurred, he'd get a home run after the completion of the play. That's the important part, though. The advancing of base runners happens after the completion of the play. Runners run at their own risk until the play is over.

Any defender. Two bases for the runners, including the batter runner.
It's called a rule book. Check 7.05

Last time I checked throwing your glove at the ball is scored a three base error and could lead to an ejection.
