Trade with The Sandlot (With Special Guest Len Dykstra)

Joe over at The Sandlot and I recently completed a trade.  He saw a bronze T-206 Carlos Beltran that caught his eye, and in exchange he sent me the sweet Jimmy Rollins Turkey Red White card, along with some other Phillies cardboard.

I have to admit, I don't know much about the Turkey Red set(s), other than I like the look of them.  I don't have any other Turkey Red white borders so I am assuming they are pretty rare?


Check out the Lenny Dykstra cards.  Let's just say Lenny has had better days.  These days he likes to chew on Twizzlers outside of courthouses.  Don't believe me?


At least Twizzlers are better than tobacco, I guess.


Hopefully you all have eaten and aren't enjoying a meal while viewing this blog post.

Lenny also has been hanging out with the "brilliant" Charlie Sheen. I think they were made for each other. Check this out, from The New Yorker:
Lenny Dykstra sat for an interview with an NBC affiliate in Philadelphia, in which he talked about, among other things, his troubled friend Charlie Sheen. “Charlie Sheen is a brilliant mind,” Dykstra said. “He’s on point.” Dykstra was wearing a red plaid jacket over a lime-green polo shirt, buttoned all the way up to the neck, as well as a Stetson. He had recently emerged, he said, from two years spent in a virtual submarine, “under water,” as he dealt with the fallout from sudden bankruptcy, divorce, and the loss of his “compound,” as he once called it: an eighteen-million-dollar home that previously belonged to Wayne Gretzky.

Let's trade again soon Joe.  I always LOVE to get rid of Mets cards! Lest we forget...Lenny was a Met too!

  1. Good pickups. That old man doesn't even look like Lenny at all. Just weird.

  2. Lenny wasn't exactly "on point" when he was a player either.
