Two All-Star Games and two World Series were decided in the time it took former pro baseball player Lenny Dykstra to lose his trophy home in Thousand Oaks to foreclosure.
But it was game over for the onetime star center fielder Wednesday when a bid of $760,712 and change took the Sherwood Country Club estate on the steps of the Ventura County Courthouse. In addition to the amount of the winning bid, buyer Index Investors is on the hook for about $12 million owed to first lender JPMorgan Chase & Co. plus missed payments and taxes.
Dykstra had purchased the 6 1/2-acre compound in 2007 at the peak of the housing bubble from hockey legend Wayne Gretzky for $18.5 million, including some furnishings.
