Sure, but not many recently.
Two well-known ones within the past 40 years:
The last home game of the 1971 Washington Senators -- idiot team owner Bob Short had already announced the team was relo'ing to Texas, so the fans were raucous all night. With one out in the top of the ninth, Washington winning (winning, mind you) 7-5, some fans charged onto the field. Security cleared the field, order was temporarily restored, the next batter grounded out, and with one out to go for a final win (which was meaningless in the standings), more fans swarmed the field. The chaos was complete, and the game was forfeited to the visiting Yankees. 30-Sept-1971
Disco Demolition Night -- the Chicago White Sox were to host a doubleheader against Detroit, and during the break planned to blow up (really) a pile of disco records. Old Comiskey was packed, over 50,000 in attendance, some by rushing the gates or climbing over fences (not your typical baseball fans). Detroit won the opener, 4-1; the records got exploded; fans stormed the field and wrecked a good bit of it. CPD cleared the field somewhat, but Tigers manager Anderson refused to field his team, citing security concerns, and the umpires ultimately forfeited the second game to Detroit without so much as an inning played. 12-July-1979
And...
The most recent was in 1995, when the Dodgers hosted the Cardinals. The night's promotion was a giveaway baseball. Late in the game, fed up fans (the Dodgers were losing) pelted the field with the balls. Groundskeeping cleaned up the mess, but it happened again. Another cleanup. Finally, with one out in the home ninth, the balls rained down again, and umpires forfeited the game to St. Louis. 10-August-1995

08/10/1995 - St. Louis at Los Angeles - NL - Baseballs were distributed to fans as they entered Dodger Stadium. The game was delayed in the 7th inning when some fans started throwing their souvenir baseballs onto the field. In the bottom of the 9th with St. Louis leading 2-1, the first batter, Raul Mondesi, was called out on strikes. He started to complain to umpire Jim Quick and was ejected. Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda was ejected as well. The fans became upset and started throwing the balls onto the field again. The umpires brought the Cardinal team in from the field while the grounds crew cleared the field. When play resumed, the fans again bombarded the field and the umpires forfeited the game in favor of St. Louis. New York Times, 08/11/1995, p B9 (Dodgers)
The last time before that was 07/12/1979 - Detroit at Chicago

Cardinals @ Dodgers - August 10, 1995. 50,000 turned out for a horrible promotion: "Ball Night". After fans had a few drinks, and the umpires made a few unpopular calls, the Ddoger fans started throwing the balls onto the field. Umpires cleared the players off the field for their safety and eventually forfeited the game to St. Louis. It is the most recent forfeit in Major League history.
and dont forget "Disco Demolition night" in Chicago! (see link) fun for the entire family!

I think there was one with the Dodgers one year and unruly fans they could not control.
