    Yeah, but a lot of that cash gets used for hair dye apparently.

    Other than your misspelling of Gretzky, your post is dead on.

    I love Dykstra's line: "This income is history."

    It reminds me of a longtime ago story on Pete Rose in SI, during his playing days, when Rose talks about splitting from his first wife.

    Rose said, "Just give her a million and a half and tell her to hit the road."

    First Dykstra thread that popped up on a search.....

    Boy, this guy is a mess. On the Dan Patrick show now. Sounds like he's halfway through a 36-hour binge.

    Nice.

    Ryan, that's Lenny. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Never has been and never will be.

    Patrick: Are you going to do a reality show?
    Dykstra: Yes.
    Patrick: What's it going to be about?
    Dykstra: Reality.

    Effin' A, man.

    What a mess, indeed. And what a nightmare for those who had to work with him. I can't even imagine the stress.
