My Take

Lenny Dykstra, Nails himself, is one of those players whose grit I genuinely loved watching described. A scrappy center fielder for the Mets and Phillies, he was a three-time All-Star and a key piece of the 1986 World Series champion Mets. That hard-nosed, dirt-on-the-uniform style is exactly the brand of baseball I find compelling. His life after the game took messy, headline-grabbing turns, which makes him a complicated figure to me rather than a tidy hero. Still, when I think of the player, I remember the relentless edge he brought to every at-bat and every gap in the outfield.
