So it’s rare if ever that I post a single story before rounds come but, this the latest Lenny Dykstra profile, this time by the Daily News‘ Mark Kram, is just as mind blowing as all the rest. Kram shows Dykstra, having not slept for three days, orchestrating a possible buy on a $15 million dollar estate in a down economy. Money quotes:
Twelve years have passed since centerfielder Lenny Dykstra finished playing baseball at the age of 33. As he says now, he got out of it what he wanted: A World Series Championship with the Mets in 1986, and “I beat the bleeping Braves.”
and
So how is Dykstra doing?
Ask him.
“Liquid crystal, bro,” he says. “I am liquid crystal.”
and
“So I go to Wally Wall Street with his G.G. suspenders,” he says. “And . . . “
G.G. suspenders?
“Gordon Gekko,” Dykstra explains. “Remember him? ‘Greed is good.’ Great movie. So I ask, ‘What happened to my money, bro?’ “
and so, so much more.
