Corona Craigslist and Car Wash Discounts ?

by TravelSoftballDad » Thu May 13, 2010 8:41 am

Ouch...maybe a free car wash with purchase of autographed stuff !?!?! :o :( :oops:

Former Major League Baseball star Lenny Dykstra is unloading memorabilia on Craigslist in a desperate bid to raise funds and pay-off mounting debt, the New York Post reported Wednesday.

Dykstra, 47, hopes a diehard fan will shell out $3,200 for a framed, autographed montage highlighting his days with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.

"If you purchase this item, you will also receive a personal phone call" from Dykstra, the ad says.

Dykstra's initial reply to questions about the sale was "F--- you." He later suggested, "The Post should buy the stuff."

Dykstra has been in dire financial straits for years. He filed for bankruptcy last year and had to sell his 1986 World Series ring.

The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Dykstra struck out in a bid to have his bankruptcy case dismissed in Los Angeles court.

I hate to say it but he brought this on himself. I used to work for the company he tried to sue over and over again. Even after the court ruled in my former boss' favor, he filed appeal after appeal and was unsuccessful. Sad to see this happen to anyone but its not a good idea to spend your money in legal fees when you have no case.

It is sad to see. But I also did a project for him in Corona. He couldn't be nicer. We didn't have any problems with payment but he was sueing everyone and there mother associated with that project.

If there was one thing you can take away from a conversation with him though was that you could tell he was on the 86' Mets (Insert drug reference here).
