Lenny Dykstra turns 48 today. Along with Davey Johnson and Keith Hernandez, Dykstra was one of those Mets who parlayed his sudden fame following their 1986 World Championship to publish a book (Nails: The Inside Story of an Amazin’ Season, written with Marty Noble). At the time, I remember thinking how vulgar the language was. Now, that perception seems to be the least of his worries.
Literary birthday greetings: Nails
