SI's legendary April Fool's spoof

In comments below N reminds me of The Curious Case of Sidd Finch, the story of a mystical pitcher who could throw a fastball at the unheard-of speed of 168mph.

It was written by George Plimpton, which should have been the first clue that something was amiss. It appeared in the April 1, 1985 edition of the magazine.
