During his decade in the majors as a legendary member of the 1980s Mets and 1990s Phillies, he was named to three All-Star teams and played in two of the most memorable World Series of the modern era. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen came a second act no novelist could plausibly conjure: After retiring, Dykstra became \"baseball's most improbable post-career success story\" (The New Yorker). But when the real estate bubble burst in 2008, Lenny lost everything. Then the feds moved in: convicted of bankruptcy fraud (unjustly, he contends), Lenny served two and a half harrowing years in prison.\u003c\/p\u003eNow, for the first time, Dykstra tells all about his tumultuous career on and off the field. House of Nails asks no apologies and leaves nothing left unsaid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lenny Dykstra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperLuxe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062440273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDykstra, Lenny:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLenny Dykstra manned center field for the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies from 1985 to 1996.
