    Disgraced New York Mets legend Lenny Dykstra claims he spent $500,000 spying on

    Disgraced New York Mets legend Lenny Dykstra claims he spent $500,000 spying on baseball umpires after catching them having gay sex and affairs before blackmailing them to get better calls at the plate

    • Lenny Dykstra claims in a new interview that he paid $500,000 to have private investigators spy on baseball umpires in 1993
    • Dykstra said he caught them having affairs and gay sex, then blackmailed them with this information to get better calls at the plate
    • In 1993 Dykstra led the league in walks, and was the runner-up in MVP voting
    • Many believe Dykstra is making these claims to help sell his upcoming book about his life
    • One of the two umpires in the league at the time who has since come out as gay said he was never blackmailed by Dykstra
    • Dykstra also talked about his steroid use in the interview, which he said began before the 1990 season

    A good bat for the Phils, honestly didn't even no he played for the Mets. Timing of him juicing and then hitting takes away the fact that he was good hitter for the Phillies though.

    He's a bum who cares, baseball has moved on from the 90s I hope.

    I wouldn't trust either Lenny Dykstra or a U.K. sensationalist rag to be telling the truth. The Daily Mail over there is similar to our National Enquirer in the U.S. Not really a reputable news source and the truth has nothing to do with what is published as long as it sells. I won't read it and darned sure won't purchase a book that puts money in Lenny Dykstras pocket. If any of you waste your money on it please write a review.

    Dykstra is truly a pathological liar and overall scamming D-bag

    Anyone paying any attention to his life's tale already knows this

    His bullshit stories are numerous; can trust him to tell the truth about as far as you could throw ttwarrior

    Mentality of a scheming teenager.... pretty pathetic human.

    There was a Dykstra that played for the Vegas 51s, which is the Mets AAA, but I don't think he was related at all.

    No surprise this is all timed with a book release for a guy who has squandered all of his money away being an absolute scumbag. He probably saw what Canseco did and figured he could do it too, and at least pocket some appearance fees to sign a few books (since authors that hit the NY Times top 100 don't really make that much money believe it or not).

    If he has said all that what they should do now is just take all his baseball stats and sweep them under the rug. Basically not show anything except that he played the game.

    If he thought that by making this claim he would sell just another $20k worth
    of books - he would do it. There is probably a shred of truth to this umpire thing
    exaggerated into a bigger story for sales.

    There's maybe 0.1% chance that Lenny is telling truth.

    Just the idea that he blackmailed an ump to get a narrow strike-zone is hilarious.

    When you call a baseball player a legend you lose all credibility.

    Hate to say it, but Lenny IS a legend. Granted, he's screwed up his legacy.

    How many SBR posters had regular guys who wore his jersey? His energy on the '86 Mets was contagious.

    Might be a mental midget, but great player. Will live on in video, long after he's gone. Remember the game at Wrigley, when he was running down the 3rd base line?

    Lenny is looking at the catcher, envisioning where the throw will be, leaps up so that the throw will carom off his batting helmet. Great player.
