Nails Prevails

Take a look at Lenny Dykstra in his playing days with the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies. He was short, at one point skinny and at one point jacked. Standing at 5' 10" he played with a determination that is arguably not seen in the MLB today. With a wad of chewing tobacco in his mouth and the number 4 on his back Dykstra played in two World Series's, one in 1986 with the Mets and one in 1993 with the Phillies. After his departure from the league, Dykstra trusted his broker with his money. When his broker lost most of his money, he said that it would never happen again. During his playing days Dykstra didn't read saying it would mess up his batting eyes, but after he lost his money he picked up the books, learning everything about there is to know about the stock market. Years went by and Dykstra opened up three top notch car washes, then sold them later for over 65 million dollars. He called them the "Taj Mahal's" of the car washing industry, the only thing is he didn't know what the Taj Mahal was. Now Dykstra is one of the most intellectual and respected men in the stock market. What he says about stocks are taken seriously by investors. What Dykstra did during the playoffs of the 1993 series is one of the best individual performances in baseball, not only did he towering home runs, but fouled off many pitches working the pitchers. Lenny Dykstra also known as Nails proved to everyone who doubted him that he can do anything.
