I guess it can happen to anybody...One day riding high, on top of the world , nothing but upside, the next day bankruptcy, divorce, financial empire destroyed, family relationships ruined and then the arrest and criminal charges.
Look at the beloved Lenny "Nails " Dykstra , 1986 member of Mets world championship team, 1993 member of Phillies team which went to the "Series ", second in the MVP voting to Barry Bonds one year . A guy who would run through a wall for you... guys who played with him loved him. Gave his blood and guts every night!
Then in retirement, it appeared he had everything...Valued his assets at $58 million a few years ago. Then bam, a downhill slide at 150 miles per hour. Apparently , he was broke...Filed bankruptcy, and then he was trolling for an easy "financial fix" ! Arrested and allegations of fraud and obstruction of justice .Man!
Is Dykstra ruined? That will be up to Lenny.. He has to address the charges, either plea or go to trial and then somehow reinvent himself in a way that maybe only Lenny Dykstra can.
In the meantime, a good place to start is to make amends with family and long-time friends. The months and years ahead will be much more bearable with a layer of support.
It's not going to be easy, but hey....life never is!
