Nearly a year after his wife died, Denny McLain — the both beloved and bedeviled former Detroit Tiger — is holding an estate sale.
A two-time Cy Young award-winner, who also once famously claimed he drank a case of Pepsi a day and ended up in prison twice, is hoping to sell a few thousand sports memorabilia items, a fraction of what he's collected for decades.
He also aims to part with everything in his 3,500-square-foot Wixom home at 53201 Maranatha Lane.
"What we're finding — and it's the same with Denny — is that with COVID, a lot of people's lives are changing," said Aaron Siepierski, who is setting up the sale.
