Former New York Mets pitcher and current broadcaster Ron Darling has a book to sell and his ex-teammate Lenny Dykstra believes there are lies being told about him. According to Darling’s book, Dykstra helped the Mets win Game 3 of the 1986 World Series thanks in part to some “vile” and “racist” words spewed at Boston Red Sox pitcher Oil Can Boyd from the on-deck circle.
Dykstra doesn’t have a reputation as a law-abiding citizen nor does he have a place as near and dear to the hearts of Mets fans when compared to Darling.
