Mets fans have their chance this weekend to pick up some team memorabilia at the yard sale of a legendary local pitcher.
The Staten Island Advance reports that former New York Mets closer John Franco is selling the contents of his six-bedroom mansion this weekend.
The merchandise includes Mets memorabilia, video arcade machines, 19th-century oil paintings and a Harley-Davidson Roadster.
The sale started Friday and continues through Sunday.
The Advance says the motorcycle was presented to Franco by his teammates in recognition of his 400th save. It fetched $7,000.

Franco and his wife have moved to from Staten Island to smaller quarters in Manhattan now that their two older children are grown and only the youngest is at home.
The 51-year-old Franco was raised in Brooklyn and was a hometown favorite on the Mets. He was a four-time All-Star and had 424 saves.
