Co-ordinate to Beane, his first comments on seeing future Hall of Fame pitcher Steve Carlton warming upwardly were, "Shit, I'll stick him."[i]

In 1985 Dykstra, deemed ready for the major leagues, was promoted to the Mets when the team's starting center fielder, Mookie Wilson, was placed on the disabled list. The rookie's play and energy was a large boost to a Mets team that surged to a 98-win season and narrowly missed out on the NL East crown. The following season, Dykstra was intended to exist platooned in center field with Wilson, simply took over the position every bit outright starter and leadoff hitter when Wilson suffered a astringent eye injury during spring grooming. Later that flavour, the Mets released left fielder George Foster and moved Wilson to left. Mets fans shortly nicknamed Dykstra "Nails" for his hard-nosed personality and fearless play.
