I don't know about the Busch League, but it is legal in the Miller League. It is also legal in the Bush League, but almost nothing is legal in the Kerry League.
A couple of more perfect points:
1) If the team does this "after any third strike to first base regardless if 1B is occupied", why in heaven's name is the catcher fooled?
2) The rule book (ASA) makes a specific exception for this situation taking the offense off the hook.
