I had completely forgotten that story! I was 16 at the time and fell for it hook, line and sinker! I remember going in to high school after the issue came in the mail and talking up Finch and Gooden as the top 1-2 rotation punch potentially of all time!

The Sid Finch was the best in my book, so well done. Had to really laugh when SI released the it was an April Fools joke.
