Welcome to Lenny Dykstra!
LennyDykstra.com is a fansite and tribute to one 0f my favorite ball players of all time.
Lenny Dykstra
Lenny Dykstra was drafted by the New York Mets in the 13th round of the 1981 amateur draft. He was signed July 3, 1981. Lenny was fantastic center-fielder and lead-off hitter. He threw left and batted left. He has not been associated with human growth hormone usage. Lenny was traded to the Phillies in 1989, partly due to his wild and crazy personality. It is rumored that he is a huge fan of Las Vegas. I guess the Mets wanted to clean up their image after the Doc Gooden and Daryl Strawberry fiasco. He became a superstar in Philadelphia and in 1993 lead the Phillies to the World Series. That season he lead the lead in hits and finished second in the MVP Voting. He retired in 1996
Lenny Dykstra was a successful baseball icon but several failed business ideas caused him to file for bankruptcy in 2009, losing all $30 million of his dollars. He was associated with a magazine, life insurance company, and other investment funds. He claims that JP Morgan perpetrated fraud upon him, and JP Morgan is still trying to collect over $13 million. Lenny’s wife Terri Dykstra filed for divorce in April, 2009
