But like bonds , sosa He cheated He was on the juice

@@johnyvico They were GODS 🔥

Agreed dude, you nailed it!

Not as good as Molitor

@@johnyvico Oh please. Get off it.

LOL!

Hahahaha!!!

Me too. I can still remember Vin Scully saying how he got his name " nails" so much fun to watch him play.

Yeah, on the field, dude was Pete Rose level effort.

yes, he is a good interviewer. But no....he does lob softballs often

Yes he's great at what he does

Drugs takes it toll. I don’t think icjirio slammed coke every night and bottles of tequila

@@DanMolden99Also, Steroids actually worsen your overall health in the long run. Dykstra's body was shot by 1996. Meanwhile, guys who never did roids, like Omar Visquel and Cal Ripken, played for decades.

And with over 100k miles on him when he came into MLB

Yep, so it can be done so this is just an example of a player that reached his full potential and was good but he wanted more and cheated to achieve what others could do naturally, perhaps robbing another player and their family of money. There is no noble reason for cheating, what helps your family hurts another so once again, he is just selfish and Ichiro (as far as we know) did it the right way.

Trey Warnock no he wrote it. just listened to him on stern. he fired 2 ghost wrkgers and did it himself

@@jodavey you're going to believe anything Dykstra says?

Me too! What a competitor!⚾️

“Best 5 o’clock hitter I ever saw”😂😂😂

Great memories. He was the 2nd version of Charlie Hustle!

@@simpleagain1 they even sound alike

aleister crowley wow tom hardy would actually nail it. No pun intended actually haha

Mickey Rourke could be him at this age in the movie

@@jelly7310 lol!!!

Joe Ceonnia i’d have said the 86 mets but i get where your coming from. Lenny a big part of the fun.

I was at a lot of home games that year

He aged big time

What did he steal?

Brain damage from picking fights with prison guards

I was close to the family. You are right. Many of us partied Friday nights after FB games. Lenny played on our team. He always went home after. I would say that team in 79' was 50/50. Good boys and bad boys. His brother was a great athlete as well. I will say Lenny was very driven to play major league ball. He made it big out of Grove!

We took this trip to Garden Grove It smelt like Lou Dog inside the van, oh yeah This ain't no funky reggae party, five dollars at the door..... Unless you're Lenny!!

Sad? This guy's not sad this guy's a fuckin legend.

How rigorous do you want pro athlete’s personal lives probed? They play a game, who cares what they do if they’re not harming anyone

@@Ditka-89 They are harming themselves and setting an awful example, and maybe would have won more series if Johnson wasn't drunk all the time and actually coached the team instead of being one of the boys. Your post is why the world is crumbling down. Anything goes, nobody stand for whats good, healthy, and right anymore. Take a look around. "Not hurting anyone" attitude has infected everything, esp what's being done to our kids...

@@echoechoecho7142 set an example? No one knew he even had a problem until Dykstra outed him to the media. The guy was a functioning alcoholic. It would be setting a bad example if he broke the law due to his disease and people found out about it-a la Tony LaRussa and his multiple DUIs. There should be a separation between people’s private lives and their professional ones. They’re baseball players not politicians.

The bar is pretty low for Lenny being still as sharp as a tack. He was never the brightest bulb to begin with..

And those who wallow in the cesspool of drugs liquor sex will one day have to pay the fiddler, Why is it that the Phillies leave a bad mark on some of their best players as in MR.DYKSTRA, MR. PETE ROSE are two of the PHILLIE players who had legal trouble both went to prison, For years we have wanted a pro baseball team in TENNESSEE but every time the police say NO, they let us have a pro football team and there is talk they might close them down, so my question is were is the PHILLIE police to stop these players from getting into trouble. Police down here want allow that kind of stuff to go on, PACMAN JONES, VINCE YOUNG got rid of them and anyone who doesn't meet the proper standing has no place in Tennessee. Both MR.ROSE and MR.DYKSTRA was given a talent and made millions of dollars from it and both turned out to be nothing but criminals something our police will not tolerate.

Wow. You sound like a lot of fun. Super religious too. Just a guess.

And the police get NO say in the awarding of a franchise. Nonsense.

@@andytnmurray3808 -Yeah I think you live in La-La-Land

Truth

Agreed , he says I took it for the right reasons , my family so I can stay on the field. Own your shit Lenny you were a selfish addict

Tom Berenger

you dont get the idea of talk shows do you?

That's kinda the point of every talk show/radio show guest ever. You think these celebrities and players show up just to talk and hang out for the hell of it? Of course not...they are pushing a book, a movie, an album....something. There aren't just there just to be there. It's called "doing the circuit".

As someone who had a drug problem that's an irresponsible thing to say. He knows better.

The 2022 Mets are far from boring.

@@stevenlennon12 I dont think he does know better though, he seems like a complete tool...Fun legendary baseball player but a disgusting human being.

I remember being on vacation in Florida and getting a USA Today to read about it. I was only 12...and furious. He wasn't my favorite player (Strawberry of course) but I knew it was a mistake. Samuel wasn't garbage but the trade just felt off. And bad. Again, I was 12 and knew. So many bad Met decisions back in the late 80's, early 90's.

Same here. They made the '93 Phillies look like the fun bunch. Here's the reason.

Joe Carter thought they were fun! Lol

CTE

Thanks, from Philly.

He's a dirtbag

@ don’t offend dirt and bags by likening them to Lenny Dykstra.

You're not a die hard Red Sox fan if you're talking about the 9th inning of game 6. It was the TENTH inning where all the fireworks happened. Even if Dave Stapleton is in there, the game was already tied before Buckner's gaffe, so there's no guarantee that the 86 ChokeSox would have won anyway, so Buckner was the least of the issues in that 10th inning that you remember oh so incorrectly. Go back to sleep.

Listen to 13:28. Unbelievable.

Plastibell.

he's slurring because his teeth are fucked up from getting face beat in while in prison notice how he never opens his mouth much thats why he slurrs

S Morris he was always a meat head. ALWAYS!

Hes always sounded like that u idiot

Tough as nails

Cant collect untill hes 60 i believe.

Is that good?

You’re a piece of shit! What have you done?

Howard Stern lets not get carried away. He wasnt even in top ten cf in his own era

More like hall of shame.

@@mattf.1233 lol!!!

No…Howard Stern is correct. This man deserves the hall of fame. Pay your respects.

Nails was as fierce a competitor as there ever was and it is rich when people criticize him despite not ever knowing in their lives for one second what it is to lay it all on the line for something and succeed. He brought confidence and electricity to the '86 Mets like no one ever did before or since.

nahpoli his record says otherwise. Cashen didn’t help him with those bad trades like mcreynolds

Dave Johnson was a hell of a manager.

It's hard to out and out say that Davey Johnson was an awful or overrated manager when the results speak for themselves. Just about everywhere he went, be it New York, Cincinnati, Baltimore, or Washington, his teams won or contended. His only true "failure" besides not winning more than one World Series, is his time in Los Angeles, where he was fired after his second year despite guiding the Dodgers to 86 wins in 2000.

He does sound drunk but it's because he had his teeth getting knocked out in prison.

On pain killers most likely

He has always sounded this way.
