Lenny Dykstra Threatens to Sue, Fight Ron Darling After Claims of Racial Taunts

Lenny Dykstra is reportedly suing former New York Mets teammate Ron Darling.

Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post noted Dykstra appeared on Monday's episode of The Michael Kay Show and revealed as much after Darling claimed in his new book the outfielder directed racial slurs toward Boston Red Sox pitcher Dennis Boyd during the 1986 World Series.

"When you start bringing up this kind of stuff, this is crossing the line," Dykstra said. "And again, it's not acceptable and it's flat-out lies."

He also said he would "drop him like a red-headed f--king stepchild" when talking about Darling.
