Posted Sep 14, 2009 12:09 AM
NEW YORK -Former New York Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra has gone from filing for bankruptcy to pawning off his sports memorabilia.
Auctioneers plan to sell a trove of memorabilia that the financially troubled All-Star left unclaimed at a pawnshop in Beverly Hills. Among the items are Dykstra's 1986 New York Mets World Series championship ring and trophy.
Each could sell for $20,000 or more.
Dykstra filed for bankruptcy protection in July, saying he owed more than $31 million. At the time, he filed court papers indicating he had about $50,000 in assets.
The auction is scheduled to take place in Texas and online on Oct. 1 and 2.
