I fell for this hook, line and sinker.

Sidd Finch, the creation of George Plimpton, whom the Mets found in Tibet. Sidd had to decide whether to take his almost sightless fastball to the majors, or to practice yoga in Tibet.

I and the buds also fell for this hard.

I remember how crestfallen I felt that I wouldn't actually get to see a guy throw a baseball 106 MPH.

Plimpton! douche...

Without a doubt, the best ever. I go back to it every year..... kind of like watching It's a Wonderful Life at Christmas.
