Major League Baseball National League (Baseball) New York Mets NL East Division - SI Vault

I remember this the first time around. It is a classic, but well worth a read!

Major League Baseball National League (Baseball) New York Mets NL East Division - SI Vault:
"Nelson Doubleday is especially hopeful about Finch's ultimate decision. 'I think we'll bring him around,' he said a few days ago. 'After all, the guy's not a nut, he's a Harvard man.'

In the meantime, the Mets can only wait. Finch periodically turns up at the enclosure. Reynolds is summoned. There are no drills. Sometimes Finch throws for five minutes, instantly at top speed, often for half an hour. Then he leaves. Security around the enclosure has been tight. Since Finch has not signed with the Mets, he is technically a free agent and a potential find for another club. The curious, even Met players, are politely shooed away from the Payson Field enclosure."
