Today marks the 40th anniversary of SI April Fools article about a NY Mets pitching phenom. Fond memories of a time when the best source of indepth sports info was WEEKLY magazines like Sports Illustrated or Sporting News.

Ahhhh a glorious time- spring of 85. Still had VEISHEA. Sub 2.0 GPA and finished semester with 9 credits after dropping Tax Accounting and MIS

I remember when this came out because I got SI as a kid and I was big into baseball and card collecting. It would get sniffed out in an instant in today's world, but I remember the hoax carrying on for awhile at the time.

I wish I would have kept that magazine.

They did a reprint of this when I was in HS. Must've been the 20th anniversary or something. I remember telling my coach all about Sid Finch at baseball practice that day.

I'm surprised he didn't make me run sprints for being so stupid.

Shouldn't that be "Cluff Notes"?

The NCAA ruled Georges and Tyrese have four years of eligibility left and are going to run it back for a natty?

Really sorry to say I know this picture.

Best April Fools I have seen was last year in little Crescent, IA. An area where a commercial building was just starting construction on the edge of town put up a billboard sized sign saying, "Coming Soon, Romantix" They used the correct logo and everything. Quite the uproar at the next city meeting.
