There is nothing about his childhood? His parents, siblings, upbringing, etc
i heard he lost his jaw to cancer... truth to this?
Ive seen the current picture up for a while, so it being of unfair use, or a copyright problem is out of the question. If there is a problem with the pic, it would of been taken off wikipedia a long time ago. Whammies Were Here (PYLrulz) 10:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
In the interests of stopping the edit war on colors in the infobox, I have semi-protected the page for the next week. Please take the time to discuss and come to a consensus about what you'd like to do. - Philippe | Talk 21:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
I re-added Dykstra's Mets colors since he currently serves as a consultant to Mets owner Fred Wilpon (he was even considered as the team's manager before they hired Willie Randolph). This is footnoted in the Retirement section. Since he is currently affiliated with the Mets organization, then he should have Mets colors. Jjj222 23:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
If George Brett suddenly started serving as a consultant for the Rangers, I wouldn't think that would be a reason to put Texas colors on him when he played his whole career on KC (unless he became their manager). But in Dykstra's case, he played for the Mets in the 1980's and was a World Series hero. Then he played on the Phillies in the early 1990's and nearly won an MVP. So he did have significant contributions for both franchises. However, I look at the fact that he is now affiliated with the Mets organization as a statement of his self-identification as a Met, and it is a good tie-breaker in this instance.

It doesnt matter he is working with the Mets, it is only if he was manager of the Mets that he would have Mets colors, he is known more with the Phils-- Yankees10 00:25, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Nationally, he is better remembered as a World Series hero for the Mets anyway. 68.173.209.19 13:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Yankees10 is the only one making a big deal out of it, and he is only doing it because he hates the Mets and has a grudge against me. 68.173.209.19 13:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
No one ever said I didnt like the Mets, there actually one of my favorite teams, so dont put words in my mouth.-- Yankees10 13:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Dykstra's work at TPC has resulted in numerous lawsuits, and may lead to bankruptcy for the magazine. In addition, he has come under fire for his work as an investment advisor/talking head. See stories: [1], [2] -- 208.82.225.245 ( talk) 06:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

In section titled "Business Affairs and Bankruptcy," I tagged a sentence fragment which seems like it should be part of the previous sentence. (It's in paragraph that begins with "In August 2009..."). Just wondering if anyone knows the facts in detail and can help clear/clean this up, because frankly I don't feel like scouring media reports about this. Thanks, sports/bankruptcy/crime experts!
