In early 1985, Sports Illustrated managing editor Mark Mulvoy noticed that April 1 would be the cover date for that year. He asked George Plimpton to remind him with an article on April Fool’s Day jokes in sports. When Plimpton found himself not able to find enough examples to produce the article, Mulvoy allowed Plimpton to create his HOAX. The story was let out in late March 1985.
