When my @$$ was 19 years old, I changed the face of professional baseball. I was handed the keys to the kingdom, multi-million dollar deals, endorsements. Everyone wanted a piece of my $h*t. Just a man with a mind for victory and an arm like a fu*king cannon. But sometimes when you bring the thunder, you get lost in the storm.
I'm looking good, got a luscious v of hair going through my chest pubes down to my ball fro. She takes one look at me and goes " Oh my god, I've had the old bull now I want the young calf" and grabs me by the weiner.
I used to think life was like a game of baseball. And that hardwork and moxy could get you anywhere. Investing isn't really like baseball at all it turns out. The two are really quite different. I'll sell you my blood for $5...how about a, trade, i'm starving.
DB commenter: When you did steroids, did they make your balls shrink?
Lenny Dykstra: Oh, you think that's funny? How 'bout I show you my balls right now and you can tell me if they shrunk, huh? No, for your information, I have full-size balls. Next question.
The pouty look, cocked hip, well defined pecs and slight dusting of hair make it look just like a porn dvd cover. It just needs a more provocative title -"Balls" maybe. Thanks. I now have a raging hard on. This is better than Tanner. More please.
49 As do those smears under the eyes. Do they have a name? I'm gay, haven't a clue. I do know though that they put them on the actors in every jock-themed gay porn movie, probably to make them look butch. But then they start talking and the fantasy fades fast.
"A true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies."
"You think I'm going away quietly? You think I'm gonna sell insurance? You think I'm gonna quote bid/asks on natural gas costless collars? You think I'm going to be a crude oil buyer? You think I'm just going to fade away like some skid mark on 9 day old underwear? Fuck you...I'm Kenny Powers and I'm here to stay!"
@66- you mean other than @20, @33, @45, @55, and @57 and the fact that KP quotes are fairly played out? Other than that, then yes, no one here watches Eastbound and Down.
“I’m working with Lenny,” I say. It is now 3 a.m. I tell Lenny that I need to be on the three-ten train back to Long Island.
Dude, I’ll put you in a car and send you home when we’re done,” he says. This sounds like a sweet deal—the only time I’d been offered a late-night car home on the Post’s dime was when the pope died.
We shake hands, and Lenny gives me a little wink. As I get ready to leave, he asks how much a taxi to Long Island will cost. Between $50 and $100, I say. Lenny pulls out his wallet, removes a crisp $100, and hands it to me. “You got $50 change?” he asks.
@72 - you are a scholar and a gentleman. Well done.
I think this is perhaps the best line in the whole piece. Really sums up the situation:
"The whole idea, Lenny said, was to teach young pros the financial savvy they’d need to afford a lifetime of the luxurious lifestyle that Lenny K. Dykstra himself now enjoyed."
The strangest part of working at The Players Club, though, is Lenny’s adolescent antics. Editorial “brainstorming sessions,” fueled by Coca-Cola and ice cream sundaes, typically last until dawn. But this does not mean things are getting done. Most meetings are simply extended hang-out sessions, with Lenny cracking up at his own jokes or asking us to watch the Real Sports segment over and over, especially the moment where Lenny points to his seat on his private plane and says, “This is where the Big Man sits.” He also seems to relish letting go a long, leisurely fart for the amusement of his employees or showing off his silk tie and saying, “You see this tie? I paid $500 for it” as he rubs it on his crotch and laughs at our embarrassed expressions.
Let me clarify something. When I said "Lenny Dykstra is one of the greats in this business," I didn't mean one of the greats in the investing business, I meant one of the greats in the retarded gay porn business. Do you see the distinction?

From a former Dykstra employee:
Includes such precious gems as:
“I’m working with Lenny,” I say. It is now 3 a.m. I tell Lenny that I need to be on the three-ten train back to Long Island.
Dude, I’ll put you in a car and send you home when we’re done,” he says. This sounds like a sweet deal—the only time I’d been offered a late-night car home on the Post’s dime was when the pope died.
