Lenny Dykstra's Magazine Players Club Striking Out

FORMER New York Mets out fielder Lenny Dykstra appears to be striking out with his magazine, Players Club.

Dykstra, who helped the 1986 Mets capture the World Series before landing with the Philadelphia Phillies, is leaving behind a string of unpaid bills and a constant parade of shifting editors and office addresses.

In the latest upheaval, Chris Frankie, the acting editor, resigned Dec. 4 along with two other staffers. Now Loren Feldman, former editor-in-chief of Philadelphia magazine, is said to be ready to join as the new chief editor.

"Loren Feldman is the new editor," said Dykstra.

Meanwhile, Frankie says he's owed back pay.

If you liked John F. Kennedy Jr.'s "George," then you'll love Lenny Dykstra's "Players' Club."

Vanity is for narcisscists, not for the magazine trades, Lenny. Just cut your losses and move on.

Here's a guy who makes the Spinks brothers look like Warren Buffet. Yeah, Lenny, what should I do with my millions?

He's actually a very successful and respected investor, believe it or not. But, what I don't understand is how you launch a magazine aimed specifically at professional athletes. I can't think of a more narrow market. What...are there like a few thousand highly-paid professional athletes in the world? Even if they all subscribe to your magazine, it's not going to bring in enough dough to put out a quality publication.
