Unfortunately the money’s going in the pocket of the pawn shop that auctioned Dykstra’s shit off a few weeks back, so don’t think this means he’s in any position to hire lawyers or move out of his car just yet. But! The fact that a bunch of people were willing to shell out over a hundo thousand for LD’s crap– the entire lot went for more than $162,000 compared to the lowball estimate of $60,000– does seem promising. Nails’ 1986 World Series ring alone went for $56,762.50 to an unknown buyer in Queens. Just imagine what we could get for LD’s “Discarded Dips Of Distinction,” a collection of chewing tobacco from the great moments in his illustrious career, tastefully encased in a white gold-flecked display case. We market this thing right and L-Dyks could potentially be back in the black by the end of the year, at which time he can focus on the important things, like this writing career and sharing accumulated pearls of wisdom like this with the world.
I would have never known how wonderful it is to fly a private jet if I hadn’t tried it out. That’s what I want you to do.
Once I did it, I loved it and swear that I will never go back to flying a commercial tube. Now, before you get huffy and think: “Big time baseball player enjoying his private plane,” just take a breather. A private plane is expensive, but it may be worth your while. At least, it’s an option that you may want to consider.
If it’s for you, then wonderful. I’ve saved you some hassle, and you’ll find that you have more time to work on your business or relax. And if taking a private jet, is not your thing. Well, that’s OK.
i’d pay good money for those twizzlers, if they were dipped in chocolate.

Someone Paid $31,070 For Lenny Dykstra’s Ball?
Is he keeping the other one or selling that one to?
The “unknown buyer in Queens” is a friend of mine.
-cg
@11 what kind of friend?
@12:
He’s a urologist.
Cramer has a place in Queens doesn’t he?
LD, Toothy Ruth and Jeff Macke should star in a reality TV show.
@15 Throw in Sheryl Weinstein and it’s done.
Lenny gets his hair cut by the same guy who cut Moe Howards hair.
He’s running all over LA promising half the proceeds of the memorabilia auction to anyone who will lend him some quick cash so he can get his plane, which is a frozen asset he can’t even touch. Idiot. I hope no one was stupid enough to fall for it, since he has absolutely no financial position in the auction.
This is only the half of it. He RECENTLY tried to get someone to pony up their credit card for a private jet in exchange for HALF of everything sold at the auction WHICH HE HAD NO CLAIM TO:
