Nails

Funny profile of Phillies centerfield cum businessman and publisher extraordinaire Lenny Dykstra. Who knew Nails had such a head for business? Best is that they picture Dykstra with a Phillies hat on his head, so you Mets fans can stick it.

 

This all gibes with a story I heard from the maitre d at Chef Tell’s restaurant (nee the Stafford Inn) on the Main Line. Dykstra was a regular there and one night was extremely boisterous in the dining room. Then state senator Earl Baker (R-PA) was eating there that same night and asked the staff to please ask Dykstra to tone it down. Dykstra only upped the volume and started getting obnoxious with Baker. Baker asked the staff to have Dykstra leave. Only Dykstra was such a lucrative regular customer that the restaurant told Baker to leave instead.
