Classic hoax. I was a teenager back in the 80s and remember another classic: George Plimpton's Side Finch profile in Sports Illustrated.

Ironically, the spaghetti tree story happened about the same time Jean Shepherd pulled the, "I, Libertine," hoax...another epic story.

The Sidd Finch hoax may have been the best ever. Wasn’t the dude supposed to be a Hindu or Buddhist who pitched with one bare foot and a work boot on the other one? LMAO.
