Absolutely ... but not for the reason you stated. "travesty of the game" appears exactly once in the rulebook and it applies to a VERY specific situation - one I've never seen or heard of during my lifetime. Yet those 4 words get trotted out every time an umpire (usually a Smitty) doesn't like the completely legal yet unorthodox tactics someone is using.
