Say what you will about former baseball star Lenny Dykstra, but he is one determined man.

The former Phillies and Mets player has false teeth and after taking them out to enjoy a Jersey Mikes sub, in New Jersey, Dykstra forgot to put them back in and they were tossed in the dumpster along with the napkin they were in.

Unfortunately for Dykstra, when he returned to the shop he found out that all of the restaurants used napkins were thrown in the dumpster as well.

Before jumping into the dumpster with his professional wrestling friend John who goes by the ring name “Sprinkles the Clown” he posted this video.

He said the dentures are worth around $80,000.
