I can't imagine he owns the car, right? It's got to belong to the bank.

Dykstra’s 1986 World Series ring was sold for $56,762.50 at an auction in Dallas. The winning bidder was from Queens, paying almost three times what Heritage Auctions expected to bring in....

Some Met fan who hasn't had to buy NLDS playoff tickets, NLCS playoff tickets, World Series tickets or WFC swag for years.

I'm trying to picture the Queens resident who places a high value on their Mets fandom, AND has $57k disposable....

That's kind of weird to me. Why would you pay for an item that represents another man's achievements? It's like buying someone's purple heart, you didn't earn it.

I can see how certain memorabilia could have interest. But a championship ring? Does it have his name on it? I guess if its generic and repersents the WS champs, not a specific player -- and you are a fan of that team -- maybe it could hold some meaning, and not seem lame.. I don't know...

Now, if there was a special signed photo that's different -- but a champion ring represents a man's achievement... what do you have when you own that??

Now it's Dutch's turn.

Lost in the story of Dykstra's Muts ring is what his '93 N.L. Champion ring got at auction. Anyone know?

"Dysktra's ring sold for $56,000, so it was pretty much a no-brainer once Dutchy saw that," Perri told the Daily News. "Good times, bad times, hard times, whatever, if someone is willing to pay that much for a ring, you're going to listen to them."

thus demonstrating the need - the crying need - for Dykstra's Players Club
