Lenny Dykstra, From 'Nails' to Nailed
by: Greg Wyshynski | SportsFan Magazine | Sunday, December 16 2007
I was a huge Lenny Dysktra fan growing up in Jersey. Huge. Tried to bat like him: in that long, stretched, left-handed stance, even though I was right-handed. Dressed up like him for Halloween, with a cheek full of Big League Chew. Checked his awful book "Nails" out of the library several times, each time hoping my parents wouldn't realize it had more obscenities than verbs; seriously, the thing read like a season of baseball recalled by a surfer-dude version of Andrew Dice Clay. I was even late to school one morning because I thought Dykstra was going to be interviewed on "Imus in the Morning," only to discover, to my dismay, that it was a lame bit with a Lenny impersonator.

Even an occasional reader of this space knows that I am a second-generation, bleeding-orange-and-blue, once-dressed-up-like-Lenny-Dykstra-for-Halloween New York Mets fan. And for any Mets fan, or Yankee-basher, the events that transpired in Tampa, Fla. on Thursday felt like Christmas morning, Thanksgiving dinner and the release of the iPhone all rolled into one fateful and glorious moment.
