Ex-Met Dykstra ‘Nailed’ in bust

Lenny Dykstra has gone from wearing a Mets uniform to sporting a jailhouse jumpsuit.

The broke, former baseball star, whose nickname is “Nails,” is accused of removing, hiding, selling or destroying more than $400,000 worth of valuables — including a $50,000 granite sink and sports memorabilia — from his $18.5 million California mansion after he filed for bankruptcy in 2009, the Justice Department said yesterday.

Dykstra, 48, was arrested Thursday at his Encino home on unrelated charges and is being held on $500,000 bail.
