WATCH: JFK Intern Discusses Sordid Details Of Affair
One of the strangest post-athletic developments in recent history was Lenny Dykstra's trip from tobacco-chewing, uniform-dirtying center fielder into a modern day J.P. Morgan. His investment advice was lauded by Jim Cramer, hyped by HBO and turned Dykstra into a bizarre cottage industry. And then, as with everything else from the halcyon financial days of the middle of the last decade, it all came crashing down. Dykstra filed for bankruptcy, lost his mansion to creditors and sold his World Series ring at auction. In the process, Dykstra became a punchline to everyone who scratched their head about his previous status.
You can't keep Nails down, though. He's back and selling investment advice to anyone looking to make a quick buck in the stock market at a new Web site called Nails Investments.
The website has video of the aforementioned HBO piece, but doesn't include the follow-up when Real Sports correspondent Bernard Goldberg gave wiping the egg off his face his best shot. His pick on Tuesday is Dow Chemical, although you'll have to subscribe to his service and pay him up to $899 a year to find out exactly why. The stock was up more than a point and a half on Tuesday, so perhaps Dykstra is on to something with this one.
Given his history, though, you have to agree with Aaron Gleeman of Hardball Talk who asks if anyone can come up with something that ranks below "Lenny Dykstra on investing" on the list of "people giving advice about things." Maybe NBC on the hiring and scheduling of late-night talk show hosts? Bud Selig on hairstyles? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
