The New Yorker has a great story about the life and times of Lenny Dykstra, a former beloved baseball player and what he's up to these days. What he's up to is this - after being a day trader, after he hung up his glove, he's decided to create Players Club, a magazine specifically for pro athletes. It'll be a magazine about finance, luxury living, and other items of interest to pro athletes.
From the story:
“You’ve got the ten per cent who are going to find their way no matter what,” Dykstra said of the athlete population. “And you get the ten per cent that are fuckheads no matter what—we’ll paste an ‘L’ to ’em.” The rest need guidance, and Dykstra, who will write a regular column called “The Game of Life,” is prepared to give it. “This will be the world’s best magazine,” he said.
