Say it ain't so, Lenny

We're a little behind on this, but it's still news to us:

Lenny Dykstra, who's already in trouble to some extent about the future of his high-end magazine Players' Club, has apparently been thrown a high hard one by New York literary agent David Vigliano, who says the former big-leaguer living over at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks owes him $300,000.

The New York Post (linked here) has reported that Vigliano claims he lent Dykstra $250,000 last May, with an agreement he repaid it, plus $50,000, in November.

We're not sure if that's legalized thuggery, but ...

Vigliano also claims he kept a $106,000 book advance that was supposed to go to Dykstra, so he's really owed $194,000. Dykstra was supposed to write a book about how he gives out investment information on the website TheStreet.com, but he never got around to writing it.

Dykstra is still one of the Wall Street Journal's favorite uncredited writers from 2008 (linked here).
