Yes, this was a rule in MLB until 1930. The rule was changed for the 1931 season to read:
"A fair hit ball which bounces through or over a fence, or into the stands, is considered a ground rule double instead of a home run."

If a ball hits the yellow line at the top of the fence in the outfield is it considered a home run?
