His nickname in MLB was “Nails.”
The locals in the CAROLINA LEAGUE called him Suicide when he played for the Mets farm team in Lynchburg, VA because he played as hard OFF the field as he did ON the field.
As in “that boy is going to kill himself the way he’s living”.
He was the type of guy who threw away the top when he opened a bottle of liquor because you do not keep something you will never use again.
Lenny had a stable of groupies ranging from.”No way is she legal” to mid-forties. He reportedly gave them all they could handle.
Lenny knew one way to drive: FAST.
It was joked that he could drive to his apartment, park and be walking in the door before the sound of his car got there.
His post baseball life has proven that he is and was a hot mess.
I am amazed he has survived.
