Lenny Dykstra is a former MLB All-Star Center Fielder for the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. As a member of the Mets, Lenny won the 1986 World Series. Following the 1989 season, Dykstra joined the Phillies and was a 3x All Star as a member of the Phillies, and he won the Silver Slugger Award in 1993.
Following his playing career, Lenny has become a NY Times Best Selling author of his autobiography, House of Nails: A Memoir of Life on the Edge. Eclipsing the traditional sports memoir, House of Nails, spins a tragicomic tale of Shakespearean proportions -- a relentlessly entertaining American epic that careens between the heights and the abyss.
