The ex-Met/Phillies’ centerfielder has just pled guilty to three counts of bankruptcy fraud. For the crimes committed, the courts could grant Lenny Dykstra an additional 20 years on top of the three years that “Dude” had already gotten for his involvement in a grand theft auto scheme.
The guy just keeps adding to his criminal rap sheet.
Lenny is a different breed. While we all loved Lenny’s spunk and energy on the baseball field, Dykstra just never seemed to want to do things the right way.
No matter how you cut it, even though former MLB player Lenny Dykstra lived up to expectations in the sports world, he just never amounted to anything positive in his personal life.
The worst part is that it’s not even close to being over. Lenny Dykstra also has a 9-month sentence for attempting to lure women on Craigslist by advertising a falsely needed housekeeper. We know… unbelievable.
Which brings up a great question. Imagine if Lenny Dykstra was a different type of person. What if Lenny was the “stay-home” type and was completely satisfied with simply sitting in front of his computer, playing fun and productive games on the Internet, such as PartyBingo?
Don’t judge me… Internet games are fun, especially when you win money.
Anyway, many of you would probably say that Lenny Dykstra wouldn’t be involved in any of the crimes. Guess what, somehow I would still prefer to think otherwise.
Here’s my thinking. For a person to commit several crimes, all of which stem from the same type of behavior, then in most cases, that person’s mindset will never change.
No matter how many fun games PartyBingo has, Lenny Dykstra would still find a way to hit the streets and do the wrong thing.
The reality is when you come across a criminal, such as Lenny Dykstra, bad behavior just never stop.
Thank goodness for PartyBingo.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I heard some crazy stories about Dykstra during his playing career, and it looks like they could be true. Sad in many ways. Dykstra had hall of fame talent, but a 10 cent brain off the field.
Thanks for the comment Jeremy. It is indeed a sad situation. Only if Lenny Dykstra made all the right decisions…
Sad that Dykstra could never get his act together but he wasn’t the first former athlete not to do so and he certainly won’t be the last.
Unfortunately, you’re right Chris. The fame, the money, the girls…. sometimes, it’s just too much.
Lenny Dykstra… baseball’s answer to Bernie Madoff. Lock his #ss up and throw away the key!
Dykstra has the business acumen of Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann all rolled into one. As all “three are brain dead” from the neck up!
Wow, that’s a really good comparison Alan. Lenny Dykstra is the Bernard Madoff of sports.

There are some guys you simply know that just wouldn’t pass the “sh#t test” when it comes to certain things! In the world of high finance and economics, it would be Herman Cain and Lenny Dykstra!
I wouldn’t trust either guy with the monies from a kids’ lemonade stand charity sale!
tophatal ………..
I definitely agree with you Alan. There is no way in heck I’ll trust any one of them, even with funds and change from a little kid’s piggy bank. It’s harsh, but it’s true.
When you lose track of WHICH court case someone is currently involved in…that’s a bad omen indeed for the person in question. The “hits” just keep coming for Lenny. Fame and its trappings can be a drug all their own…and junkies abound in all occupations.
Most certainly Bruce. Lenny Dykstra is one of those players that young athletes need to know about. Once again, the lesson has to be learned. No celebrity is above the law.
Heard via an interview with a former teammate that Lenny isn’t the brightest pea in the pod.
Judging from the decisions made and the crimes committed, we would highly agree with that “unanimous” former teammate as well. Thanks for stopping by Jed.
