Hmm, I wonder if he really lost his control, or if that was just a story he made up to avoid the limelight.

I doubt that he lost his control over a couple of days, but it is a rather odd case, so that may be the truth

A friend of mine just told me that this was just a fabrication of Plimpton's, done as an April fools joke.

this story was published in SI as a serious article when it came out..(note the date on the article) i remember that it had everyone fooled when it was written, it has become one of the classic pieces of baseball writing...hope you enjoyed it
