That is what the rule book calls it. More recently called the Canseco Rule in baseball.

Remember, it is only because of home run limits and the absolute certainty that outfielders would intentionally bobble fly balls with bases empty over the fence that slow pitch (ONLY) has an exception to call that a four base award.
