Lenny Dykstra Reportedly to Be Released From Prison After Serving 15 Months of 3-Year Sentence
Lenny Dykstra is a bad man.
There are few people who seem completely beyond redemption, but the former Phillies and Mets outfielder is probably among them. Remember, this was a guy who was not only sued several dozen times (all by different business partners) for basically being a con man who never made good on his business deals, but once allegedly borrowed $23,000 from his own...

There’s a Doc Gooden Book Coming out Soon

Book Review: Nailed!
What are the first words things that come to mind when you think of Lenny Dykstra. For me, it was words such as competitor, gritty, athletic, aggressive and even arrogant.
