The play in the original post is a legal play. Bush league, maybe, but legal.

You will find no rule in the books about "making a mockery of the game". You might be thinking of the phrase "making a travesty of the game" which is used in only one case- in reference to a runner running the bases in the reverse order.

Either way, that's not what happened here, so the "mockery/travesty" clause does not apply.
