VIDEO: Dykstra pawns World Series ring
Tokyo TV filmed Lenny Dykstra walking into a California pawnshop and hawking his World Series ring earlier this year. The bankrupt Phillie and Met turned car-wash owner and stock-options pitchman is trying to raise cash to pay off his mansion mortgages.
When now-bankrupt Lenny Dykstra pawned his Phillies and Mets championship rings this Spring as he struggled to raise cash to keep his mansions, Tokyo-TV was in the pawnshop that day, talked to Dykstra, and filmed all. In Japanese, of course. Nails comes on camera just after the three-minute mark. Video link here.
Deadspin.com offers a "rough translation" of Dykstra's remarks here.
