Former Mets starting pitcher Ron Darling claimed ex-teammate Lenny Dykstra shouted racial slurs at Red Sox pitcher Dennis "Oil Can Boyd" during the 1986 World Series on Tuesday.
Darling appeared on ESPN's Golic and Wingo in advance of his new book, "108 Stitches: Loose Threads, Ripping Yarns, and the Darndest Characters from My Time in the Game."
In the book, Darling writes that Dykstra "[was] shouting every imaginable and unimaginable insult and expletive in his [Boyd's] direction – foul, racist, hateful, hurtful stuff," while standing on the on-deck circle at Fenway Park in Boston.
