Perhaps some of you read this New Yorker profile of Lenny Dykstra last year, in which we catch up with the ex-ballplayer flying in private jets, making a killing on the stock market, and starting up his own niche magazine geared towards extremely wealthy athletes. Well, it seems that Lenny doesn't have the business acumen that we were led to believe. This week, ESPN takes a closer look at Lenny's empire and things aren't so rosy. He's knee-deep in debt, mired in lawsuits, and nearly his whole family has turned against him. As Lenny says, "It's about living the dream, bro."
(Yes, that's Jim "Mad Money!" Cramer in the photo with Nails.)
I always knew that his story was just too good to be true. What is it about my beloved '93 Phils? I don't know who ended up crazier Nails and his 'dream', Dutch Daulton and his aliens, or Curt Schilling and his...Curt Schilling.
