Lenny Dykstra gets shaggy behind bars

It looks like Lenny Dykstra is going for that old Brian Wilson look while he is behind bars.

A mugshot of the gray-bearded Dykstra, once known as "Nails" for his all-out playing style, was obtained by TMZ and shows the former New York Mets centerfielder sporting a ZZ Top starter face.

It bears little resemblance to the "Dude" of old.

Dykstra, who was a key member of the the Mets 1986 World Series championship team, is in jail for a full roster of crimes — including bankruptcy fraud, grand theft auto and a couple of lewd Craigslist incidents.

The self-taught financial investor made a fortune while his stock-picking website became popular and his financial advice magazine, the Players Club, had investment advice exclusively for pro athletes to help them with money management.

Dykstra's jet-setting lifestyle fell apart during the housing crash a few years ago.

The 49-year-old Dykstra was facing 20 more years in prison last December but prosecutors recommended 2 1/2 years — for three felony counts of money laundering, bankruptcy fraud and concealing assets — on top of the three years he is already serving for grand theft auto.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler dating Nationals infielder Cutter Dykstra

"Sopranos" actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler— who viewers watched grow up into a beautiful young woman— is now dating Washington Nationals infielder Cutter Dykstra, son of former New York Mets star Lenny Dykstra.

Sources told Page Six of The New York Post that the actress ahas been dating Dykstra "for a few months, and things are going really well."

They added, " I haven't seen her this happy in a long time."

Sigler, who lives in Los Angeles, was introduced to the 22-year-old Dykstra through mutual friends, New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher and his actress wife, Joanna Garcia.

The speedy Dykstra— who was drafted in 2008 by the Milwaukee Brewers— played for the Nats minor league affiliate the Potomac Nationals last season and batted .212 with 12 stolen bases.

Sigler has previously been linked to New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and her "Entourage"co-star Jerry Ferrara— who played the character Turtle.

It looks like Sigler has gone from a tortoise to a hare.

The older Dykstra was sentenced to three years in state prison earlier this month after a judge rejected his bid to change his no-contest plea to grand theft auto and filing a false financial statement.

Despite Cutter's father's personal problems, he is reported to very happy with Sigler.

After a break together in Florida, he tweeted at her, " Had  an amazing time with you, i miss you so much.  The last week flew by."

For Sigler, she knows how to handle "family" problems.

Bada-bing.

Ex-Met Lenny Dykstra granted permission to attend Gary Carter's funeral

Former New York Mets star Lenny Dykstra will be permitted to attend the funeral of teammate Gary Carter after he "begged" a judge to let him go.

The disgraced and broke Dykstra, who is under house arrest in Los Angeles on allegations of bankruptcy fraud and embezzlement, filed papers with a judge earlier this week in an attempt to attend Carter's funeral, according to TMZ.com.

The judge allowed Dykstra's request to cross state lines to attend the memorial service in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. at 7 p.m. on Friday night.

Carter died last Thursday after a long battle with brain cancer.  He was 57.

Nicknamed "Nails" because of his tough style of play, Dykstra played alongside Carter on the Mets from 1985-89.  The were integral parts of the Mets during that charismatic team's miraculous '86 World Championship title run.

 It was Carter's two-out single in the 10th inning of Game 6 of the World Series against the Boston Red Sox that ignited a rally and forced a Game 7.

Dykstra is out on bail for charges he sold or destroyed items under jurisdiction of bankruptcy court.

In addition to Dykstra, some of Carter's former Mets teammates expected to attend the funeral are: Keith Hernandez, Wally Backman, Howard Johnson, Roger McDowell, Darryl Strawberry, Sid Fernandez and Bob Ojeda.
