MLB News: Ex-World Series champ Lenny Dykstra facing drug charges

Lenny Dykstra, a three-time All-Star and a World Series champion, is facing drug charges in Pennsylvania.

Dykstra, 62, was a passenger in a 2015 GMC Sierra truck early New Year’s Day when it was pulled over for a traffic violation, per The Athletic. According to reports from the Pennsylvania State Police, a trooper staid he found Dykstra, 62, with unspecified drugs and paraphernalia.

He was arrested but not taken into custody on suspicion of possession of narcotics and narcotics-related equipment. Specifics about the type of drugs were not available.

The traffic stop occurred in Greene County, about 30 miles east of Scranton, where Dykstra now resides.

This is not the first legal trouble Dykstra has faced.

In late 2012, he was sentenced to 6 1/2 months for bankruptcy fraud, when he was found to have hidden or sold valuable assets and memorabilia when he filed for bankruptcy. He also served time for grand theft auto and giving a false financial statement. He also faced charges in 2012 for indecent exposure. He faced drug and terroristic threat charges after a brouhaha with an Uber driver in 2018, charges that were dropped by a judge the following year as part of a plea deal to a lesser offense.

Dykstra was selected by the New York Mets in the 13th round of the 1981 MLB Draft out of high school in Garden Grove, Calif., and played there until he was traded to the Phillies in mid-1989. He retired after his final season with the Phillies in 1996.

He won the World Series with the Mets in 1986, the epic seven-game showdown with the Boston Red Sox. That postseason, Dykstra hit .300 with three home runs and six RBIs.

In 1993, he finished second to Barry Bonds in Most Valuable Player voting after leading the National League in plate appearances (773), at-bats (637), hits (194), runs (143) and walks (129).

An outfielder, Dykstra played in 1,278 career games, hit 81 home runs and added 404 RBIs. He also stole 285 bases and walked 640 times whole batting .285.
