In 2008 we did a long article about Lenny Dykstra and his post-baseball life as an entrepreneur and investment advisor. Since then things have not gone so well for the one-time Mets and Phillies’ hero.
Check out the 2009 Lenny had:
- After boasting of a sixty million dollar fortune early in the year, Lenny filed for bankruptcy.
- Lenny’s wife, Terri, filed for divorce.
- In order to help pay his debt, Lenny was forced to auction off his 1986 Mets’ World Series ring and trophy.
- Nails was “nailed” with many lawsuits, bringing the total number of legal actions against him to twenty-four since 2007.
Lenny’s troubles extended to his son, Cutter, as well. The highly touted outfield prospect only managed to hit .212 with the Brewers single A club.
Here’s hoping 2010 brings the Dykstra men some better luck!

I remember Lenny Dykstra when he used to play center field for the Phillies, I remember because it was photo day at the vet, and I was on the field.
