:00 Intro
:20 Do you consider yourself to be a New York Mets or a Philadelphia Phillies, at heart?
1:00 Lenny tells the story of the minute he learned he was traded from the Mets to the Phillies. His conversation with manager Davey Johnson.
2:15 Was the plane really THAT destroyed on the ride home after winning the 1986 World Series?
2:32 Did the 1986 New York Mets really party with the 1986 New York Giants in the New York scene?
3:22 Would the presence of social media in the 1980s have changed the game of baseball’s off-field antics? A story of repossession of his Rolls Royce … with TMZ present
4:10 Dykstra explains, in-depth his comment: “I started taking steroids because I had to”.
5:45 What do we do with “steroid era” MLB players in the MLB Hall of Fame: do they belong in? in a separate win? Or not at all? Dykstra is “completely lost how the 3 best players” aren’t inducted. He tells me he’s been escorted out of there.
7:03 Coming from a guy whose nickname is “Nails”, what do you think of today’s athletes?
8:01 What do you think of mechanical strike zones - baseball without umpires?
8:41 1986 Mets Lightning round!

9:36 @BBrophy1’s fan question: Did you keep your HR ball from the first night game at Wrigley Field in ’88?
10:00 @WriteDennyWrite’s fan question: What is your favorite type of chewing tobacco? Do you still chew?
10:20 Lenny’s closing words
