I hadn't seen this posted anywhere on the freeper board -- this is the Sports Illustrated hoax story. It's one thing to do a fake story for April Fool's Day, like SI did with Sidd Finch back in the 80s. But the Sidd Finch story was funny and well-written. This is neither.

Sports Illustrated had a "hit" with that fake story about a baseball phenom years and years ago and have been trying to duplicate it ever since. It is not amusing. Like Raymond J. Johnson, they just don't know when to quit. They probably should never have done it in the first place.
