Jim Cramer: “He is one of the great ones in this business. Lenny Dykstra.”
HBO: “Lenny Dykstra?”
Jim Cramer: “Lenny Dykstra.”

Watch this Video done by Real Sports on HBO...Warning I did hear a few cuss words FYI

Nails was a one of a kind. There are a zillion stories about him. I missed him playing for the L-Mets by a couple of years.

I didn't.

Seriously, I'm so glad I realized something special was going on that year and made a point of going to several games. Gooden, Strawberry, Dykstra, Magadan, and a few others who made the bigs, all on the same Carolina League team. Needless to say, they didn't lose often.

No kidding Gooden struck out 300 batters as an 18 year old that year.

Kevin Mitchell is who I was referencing. If he wasn't on the '83 team he must've been right around there.

And Nails was never one to let grudges go easily.
