Ground rules are ground rules - specific to the field you're playing on. "Ground Rule Double" is really "Rule Book Double".. I've been on fields with a ground rule triple before - and what you describe could easily be a ground rule on the field you happened to be on.

That said, this scenario you describe doesn't match the OP at all. Apples and Ducks.
