The NY Post reports that former Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra's wife has filed for divorce—which means it's also an opportunity to feature that photograph of Dykstra chomping on Twizzlers from last fall! Dykstra had parlayed his baseball earnings into a variety of investments, including a line of car washes, but recently creditors went after his $18 million (!!) California estate and his Gulfstream III jet (!!). And it was only last fall when Dykstra referred to $140,000 as his "f---ing ashtray money." In the divorce papers, Terri Dykstra claims "irreconcilable differences" for ending their 23-year marriage and a former family employee told the Post, "Divorce? I'm not surprised. Finance was part of it. They've had a sham marriage for several years, and he told me that they hadn't slept in the same bed for three to four years." The couple has two children, 13 and 18.
