Of course, it is all an April fools joke. They even mention the best April fool baseball gag of all time:

While obviously not wanting to be identified here, s/he told me of a trip to Florida two weeks back for an annual spring training vacation with friends and to watch a cousin, Siddhartha Finch, at the New York Mets' spring camp in Port St. Lucie. Over twenty years ago Finch gave up a promising baseball opportunity to pursue a career with the French horn. He is trying to become the first rookie over the age of 50 to break into the big league as part of a book project. Finch, I was told, was then picked up this past weekend by the Alito/Breyer team at their annual draft. He was added to their reserve roster in the event of an injury to a player on the main roster. (Finch will be starting the year at the Mets' Double-A affiliate in Binghamton.)

I'll never forget the original Sid Finch SI article. I was reading it in a doctor waiting room and they had me hook, line and sinker until halfway through I decide to check the date of the SI issue. I flip to the front, read April 1, and then go back to reading. Two more paragraphs and it hits me. I bellow a laugh in front of a crowd of people in this very, very, quiet doctors office. The best baseball gag of all time.
