Len Dykstra

Leonard Kyle "Nails" Dykstra
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 167 lbs.
Born: February 10, 1963 in Santa Ana, CA
Drafted: 13th round 1981 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Philadelphia Phillies with Roger McDowell and a player to be named later (Tom Edens) for Juan Samuel, June 1989

If injuries hadn't abruptly shortened his career, Lenny would have been known as one of the great lead-off hitters of his generation, perhaps more. He's pictured here on 1995 Topps DIII, and there are many more cards pictured below.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
