Ron Darling wrote a memoir, and he told some Lenny Dykstra stories, and Lenny sued him for libel. The problems with that included the fact that most of the shit was true, and Lenny talked about a lot of it in his own book, and also how the fuck do you defame Lenny Dykstra?

Further, Dykstra had a reputation—largely due to his autobiography—of being willing to do anything to benefit himself and his team, including using steroids and blackmailing umpires . . . . Considering this information, which was presumably known to the average reader of the book, this Court finds that, as a matter of law, the reference in the book has not exposed Dykstra to any further “public contempt, ridicule, aversion or disgrace,” or “evil opinion of him in the minds of right-thinking persons,” or “deprivation of friendly intercourse in society.”
