New York Mets legend Lenny Dykstra has been hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering a stroke, according to the New York Post.

Concerning news about Dykstra first emerged after 'Dolan's Bar' in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, posted a video saying that the 61-year-old had a 'mini-stroke' and was surrounded by his family.

'He is in good spirits, he's doing decently and we just wanted to let him know our thoughts and prayers are with him,' bar owner Patrick 'PJ' Dolan said in the video.

There has been no further update on the former center fielder's condition but the Post claim to have corroborated the reports.

The 61-year-old Dykstra was a member of the Mets for five seasons from 1985 to 1989 before he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Dykstra has been embroiled in several off-field scandals, particularly since the end of his career. In 2007, he was named in the Mitchell Report as someone who used steroids.

He filed for bankruptcy a couple of years later, before being charged with grand theft auto in 2011 and then pleading guilty to bankruptcy fraud in 2012.

He served time in prison and was released in 2013. Five years later, he faced a charge of third-degree terroristic threats after being accused of threatening to kill an Uber driver. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and the charges were dropped.

During his five seasons in Flushing, he played 544 games for the Mets and hit .278 with 30 home runs and 158 RBIs.

Dykstra played a crucial role in New York's 1986 World Series run and hit a game-winning home run in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Astros.

Following his trade to Philadelphia, the 12-year veteran went on to be named to three All-Star games and won the Silver Slugger in 1993.

Throughout the length of his career Dykstra was a .285 hitter, recording 81 homers and 285 stolen bases.
