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!

From the world of hockey, there's Taro Tsujimoto

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.

i didnt read the link that was posted one the 1st post , BUT what about John Spano, buying the Islanders whit no money - lol - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Spano

As an islander fan this was just aweful and too funny at the same time

How did Sid Finch not make that list?? That's the first and only hoax that came to mind before I clicked the link.

For the history-minded
 

Plus, you can dazzle your friends by reciting a DIFFERENT Franklin Pierce Adams poem:
