    He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga—and his future in baseball.

          Yep, its a great article. And reading it brought back the whole episode. Anyone who claims they read the article before being told it was a hoax and didn't fall for it is lying.



          My son asked how we could e er believe it. I told him to imagine a world without ESPN, the internet, sports talk radio, where the daily sports news was the newspaper and the 6minute sports segment on the nightly news.



          He replied: "that's a world I don't want to live in". Ha
