According to a new report from Breitbart, the ex-Met legend is be taken care of very, very well given the circumstances.
“He’s doing very well. He should be moving into a rehab facility soon for therapy. He’s had a lot of hot nurses surrounding him. He’s doing well,” said a close friend of Dykstra.
“He’s the champ. It’s Game 3 of the World Series in ’86 and his stroke is Oil Can Boyd, and what’s he do? He’s going to knock it out of the park, that’s what he does.

“Keep it tuned here, we’ll let you know what’s going on with Nails, but keep your thoughts and prayers out with our boy Lenny,” he added. “I’m sure he’s going to wind up swinging for the fences yet again because he’s a champ, and that’s what he does.”
Former teammates Daryl Strawberry and Kevin Mitchell have also gone to visit their old friend, also verifying he’s in good spirits. Speaking to the New York Post, both Strawberry and Mitchell provided optimistic updates on Dykstra’s health, suggesting that he is in good spirits and in the process of recovering.
Strawberry, in particular, noted that Dykstra recognized him immediately, which he took as a promising sign of Dykstra’s well-being. Dykstra, who is now 61 years old, had a successful 12-year career in Major League Baseball, playing for both the Mets and the Phillies, and boasts a career batting average of .285. He also played a significant role in the Mets’ 1986 World Series victory.
