No, didn't say he was my hero.
Some of the previous posts were mentioning memories of his ballplaying days, which I have as well.
I don't purport to judge people I don't know personally.

My mother worked at Bryn Mawr Hospital where they had him after he wrecked his car w/ Dutch Daulton back in the 90's. She said he was a mess.

dykstra was my favorite player growing up but he always did seem a little off mentally
dude definitely played the game hard

Last month, though, on March 23, Dykstra picked up the phone and woke up his mother with a call at around 6 in the morning, according to Kevin Dykstra, his younger brother. Lenny was stranded in Cleveland. He wanted to charter a jet so he could get to a business meeting on the West Coast, and his credit cards were maxed out. He needed nearly $23,000 and asked his mother for it, Kevin says.
His mother agreed to let him use her credit card.
Kevin Dykstra says she has yet to be repaid.
"He had no money," says Lenny's brother. "He is on the phone, crying to my mom, saying he has got to get home and he is in Cleveland, Ohio. He asked my mom to put up her credit card for 23 grand. That is just sick, dude.
"The whole family is mad and she is all sad, saying he caught her off guard. She was asleep. He was crying to her, man"

there was the time in philly lenny and a sportswriter were in a cab, the cabbie was a regular taking the players home after the game, he asked lenny to autograph a bat that all his regular fares lenny's philly teammates had signed. lenny said sure and proceeded to write fuck you instead of his signature on the bat. it was for the guys kid. that sums lenny up in two words all class.

As far as Dykstra, I didn't know he was a fraud. I recall hearing him with Mike Francesa a couple of years ago more or less bragging about his wealth and his car wash businesses. Too bad he's a phony, I liked him when he played in New York.

I have done roids.
Competed for many years.
blounced in clubs up until 3 years ago
could hold my own
Some ballplayers could no doubt take me
others, well, I'd kick the tar out of them
oh, by the way, mary, your hero, Kapler, WAS ALL drugs...and he made the sophomoric mistake of using the cosmetic types...too look good on the covers of mags.
he did look good.
However, plenty of non-juiced ballplayers kicxk his ass as a player and as NOT being a fraud.

Your claims are useless without pics.
Don't you understand how this board works yet?
I just take exception to stereotyping all baseball players as something they're not.
Amidst all of your whining, you forgot about the fact that hitting a 99 mph fastball is the single hardest act to perform in all of sports.

No it's not. ::) Breaking a world record in any track and field event is much more difficult. Only one other person in history has set the record. 99mph fastballs are hit every day in the majors. Even by some mediocre players.
To further illustrate my point, I could actually make contact with a 99mph fastball by pure chance. However, I can't "by chance" run a sub 10 second 100m.

not to belabor the point but hitting a round ball with a round bat squarely when it's thrown up to 105 mph should be the quote, when it's done like this a mark mcquire can hit a randy johnson fastball 600 ft which he did, i doubt you or me or anyone else on here including udonis bolt could do that. and that's a fact jack....

Well, all he said was hitting it....not hitting it 600 ft. I mean, I'm more than capable, but the rest of you guys would struggle... ;D

i've hit a 90 mile an hour fastball fairly easy but when you add movement to it and mix it in with curves sliders slurves knuckleballs forkballs changeups thats were the trick to hitting really comes in. baseball is the only sport where you can be unsuccessful 70% of the time and still be a mojor star.

Very true.

the sad part is that only the best of the best from an area get a shot to even make the minors, when i was young the best player in my area around allentown was dave schneck, the guy could really rake and he was a pitcher as well. check out his major and minor league career on baseballreference.com to see how really hard it is to make it.

juan samuel= greatest jheri curl EVER
him and roberto kelly

that's pretty cool. as far as juan samuel goes that guy was and still is a class act. when he was playing i saw him stop when he was leaving the ball park with his then girlfriend at the time and autograph baseballs and other stuff for kids for over an half hour, ozzie virgil came by and did the same. jerry koosmn the bum practically stepped on the kids without even acknodelging them.

Ok, I should have said "hit a fastball/curve/slider/sinker/changeup" consistently on a regular basis, and not just once in your life, like a world record is. Can they get up and do it every day?
I think the fact that the most successfull hitter (based on BA) of all time still failed 63.3% of the time illustrates how truly difficult hitting a pitched baseball is. There is no other sport where that rate of success would equal skill.

Yeah, and you're the sugar granules that don't make it through the straw.
If you ever had played ball, you wouldn't talk like such a fucking moron.
