	Lenny Dykstra \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Dykstra rose through the Mets' farm system to become their part-time leadoff hitter and center fielder in 1985, and in 1986 won the larger part of the role, thanks to steady fielding, good speed and flashy, fan-pleasing catches.
		Dykstra continued to produce for the Mets, but some charged that his post-season power surge had tempted Dykstra to swing too much for the fences.
		In games where Dykstra scored, the Phils were 69-29 -- a large part of the reason the eclectic club (led by the madcap Mitch Williams and the slovenly John Kruk) went from worst to first.

		Lenny was a pretty beloved guy… everyone seemed to admire his hustle and his approach to the game… You’d think it’d be a bigger story.
		Lenny is beloved by the sportswriters and talking heads as a “little big man” (that underdog-fellating hack Mike Lupica must feel like he’s swallowed an entire Irwin Mainway “Bag-o-Glass”) type.
		Lenny should have changed his name from “Nails” (or “Nailth”–accounting for his heavy lisp) to “Railroad Spike” from the way he freakishly blew up in his last two to three years in the league.
