1986 world series

The 1986 World Series between Boston and the Mets was the first series I ever sat down and watched completely.  I knew none of the history of the Red Sox, and watched National League baseball much more than American League, so I rooted for New York.  Two of the brightest young stars on that team have been in the news this year.  Roger Mcdowell was a major player on that team, and has recently been accused of yelling gay slurs at a fan.  He apologized and was fined.  So much for the prankster image he was known for throughout his career.  This is not so terrible compared to Lenny Dyskstra.  Watching Dyskstra in 1986 was exciting, it was like what you heard announcers say when Pete Rose came to bat.  He was tough, fast, and fearless.  Dykstra has had a series of problems outside of baseball.  He has run a number of businesses into the ground, declared bankruptcy, stripped Wayne Gretzky's old house of sellable materials (really, look it up), lived out of his car (classy), and most recently interviewed various ladies for a job he most likely couldnt pay them for, and exposed himself to each of the interviewees.  This actually barely begins the rapsheet for Nails.  Life outside of baseball has not been so swell for Dykstra.  Hopefully Mookie Wilson is giving to charity somewhere.
