One of the reasons Weaver was a HOF manager was his “managing” of the awful field conditions in Memorial Park (with the help of his trusty groundskeeper, who always showed umpires a face etched with incomprehension…like, what me, try to get the excess water out of the sinkhole in short left field?). He did this to the Yankees several times and to other teams as well.

You are reading the rule correctly.

And the 1978 game was the stimulus for the rules being changed after that season to give us the current rule. The rule was subsequently amended during the past offseason to turn a rain shortened tie game into a suspended game.
