Some of you of a certain age might have heard about Sidd Finch. He was raised in an English orphanage and spent a good portion of his life in Tibet, raised by Buddhist monks. He was a talented musician who played the French horn. But Hayden Siddhartha Finch could do more than that.
He could throw a baseball with outstanding accuracy at unheard-of speeds. Some say 168 mph. This amazing pitcher, who often pitched with just one shoe (a hiking boot, no less), was signed by the Mets in 1985 and was assigned a spring-training locker between George Foster and Darryl Strawberry.
