Dykstra Story

"Lenny Dykstra, a key cog in the New York Mets World Series title in 1986 and the Philadelphia Phillies National League pennant in 1993, is being accused of steroid use and illegal gambling, the Los Angeles Times reported."

"The suit also includes a sworn statement from Florida bodybuilder and convicted drug dealer Jeff Scott, who alleges Dykstra paid him $20,000 plus "special perks" over eight years to "bulk-up" the former ballplayer."

BFD...Its not like he is HOF material. MLB is now on a witch hunt to keep its Anti-Trust status. I expect a lot of snitches and accusations in the coming year!

Philly fans who were gamblers knew this guy was always down the casinos and at the horse racetracks. He was seen there often along with some other Phillies who I won't mention. As for the steroids, that was always obvious. Didn't know about the bookie gambling but it figures and that sure isn't a surprise.

How is this not a big deal? As the story suggests, he was a key role in the Mets world series win of 1986...so basically you're saying unless it's a superstar, we should overlook gambling and steroid use?

Come on now.

The Steroid issue is a big dark cloud over the game and its records for the past 20 years. The same could be said with the fences being moved in at a lot of parks and the juiced up baseball.
