Lenny Dykstra’s baseball career will forever be remembered for two main things: His walk-off homerun in Game 3 of the World Series, one of the biggest hits in Mets franchise history, and steroid use. Blue collar hero in the 1980’s and early 90’s for his prowess on the baseball field and star player for the New York Mets, injuries led to an early retirement at age 35. With his whole productive life ahead of him, money in his pocket and the extra perks that go with celebrity status, could any young adult ask for more when it comes to having a solid foundation on which to build a future? Somehow, seemingly due to a wildly askew ego-brain cell ratio, he managed to crash and burn in five short years. Like so many riches-to-rags stories, either his

unfounded sense of entitlement, or maybe just plain stupidity, made him believe that he’d get away with nefarious dealings. Whichever, either situation usually comes to no good end and he continues on a hell-bent course to prove it.

A year ago we talked about how he mutilated his former Thousand Oaks estate in California by ripping out everything from countertops to the hardwood flooring that he could sell after previously filing bankruptcy. Well, that little money hustling scheme has come home to roost. He has now pled guilty to three counts for bankruptcy fraud, concealment of assets and money laundering. Altogether it carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years, though the court date for final judgment has not been set. Lest we forget, Dykstra is currently serving a three-year prison sentence after pleading no contest to grand theft auto and providing a false financial statement. In addition, he was sentenced this year to nine months in jail after pleading no contest to charges that he exposed himself to women he brought to his home to "interview" under the guise of an employment ad he placed on Craigslist. Well, . . you just can’t fix "stupid."
