No, it hasn't happened before on same day. This is the 1st time. However, Craig Biggio has now 3002 hits and Frank Thomas became 1st 500 HR hitter to be ejected on same day as he hit it. You don't argue with the umpire cause you'll lose everytime.

No it has not.
edit-I hadn't heard the news, I just thought you meant both milestones reached by the same player in one day.
