So Ron Darling and Lenny Dykstra are embroiled in a war or words over alleged racial epithets Dykstra hurled during the 1986 World Series. Whom to believe?
Obviously right now, each former player has their own version of the truth, so no one really knows what happened. But Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden and Kevin Mitchell say it never happened (and those three men in particular would probably be more sensitive to the alleged comments). And Keith Hernandez says Dykstra was “barking” at Oil Can Boyd before the start of Game 3, but he could not hear what he was saying.
