THE SAGA OF SIDD FINCH
Sir:Three cheers for George Plimpton's marvelous April Fools' Day article The Curious Case Of Sidd Finch (April 1). Lane Stewart's imaginative photography—especially the picture showing Finch's locker between Darryl Strawberry's and George Foster's—was a masterstroke.JEFF LEVY

Sir:
Haven't we Met fans suffered enough? I submit that the article was cruel and unusual punishment. Couldn't you have let Finch try out for the Yankees or Dodgers?

Sir:
Poppycock! We could tell this story was a joke because any player with that kind of talent would have to have been acquired through a trade from the Cleveland Indians!
