dykstra was, at one time, touted as a financial/investing wizard

turns out he is a big 'Charleston' chew

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.

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"

Your pictures are funny and are posted at the right times. He is entering "questionable" territory with this leprachaun pic. But if he has your blessings, he has mine.
