Philadelphia Phillies Manager Ryne Sandberg is Leaving His Home in Phoenix
Philadelphia Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg has put his Phoenix home on the market for $3.8 million.
Sandberg's property has a ranch-inspired theme and boasts several features, reported Realtor.com.
The Camelback East estate is bounded with much foliage and greenery, complementing its ranch appeal. The 6,235 square-foot residence includes a total of eight bedrooms, a living room, a formal dining room, a trophy room, a kitchen and a spacious second-level balcony.
Outside, there's a masterfully-landscaped garden and a swimming pool to complete the grounds.
Based on the property photos available on its listing, the predominantly white home exudes simplicity and elegance. The neatly-designed front yard adds to its pristine look and grandeur. Inside, the home looks vibrant with more live plants creatively placed in its living space. Gold accents in several areas make the home trendy and upbeat, aside from making it more attractive. Other details like intricate chandeliers, lovely paintings on the walls, charming wallpapers, and comfortable and great-looking sofas enhance the home's beauty.
The Phoenix home has a bright and sunny ambiance, courtesy of wide and tall windows that allow natural light to enter.
Home seekers who like a chef's kitchen will immediately appreciate what Sandberg's home has to offer. The modern kitchen is equipped with several built-in cabinets, a large working area, high-end appliances, and a butler's pantry.
Sandberg's Accomplishments
Although Sandberg is leaving his home in Phoenix, he is not yet leaving the Phillies since he signed a three-year contract with the team in 2013. The contract dissolved his "interim" status and formally became the Phillies' manager in 2014, according to ESPN.
Before he became the Phillies' manager, he was a respected baseball player who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005.
Peter Edward Rose, a former baseball player and manager, who is also known for his nickname, Charlie Hustle, commended Sandberg's attitude and professionalism. Baseball Hall of Fame quoted Rose as saying, "Ryne Sandberg worked harder than any player I've ever seen. A lot of guys with his athletic ability get by on that and have a nice career. Sandberg worked his butt off because he knew it was wrong not to," said Rose.
Sandberg's decision to retire in 1994, even if he was at the peak of his career as a Chicago Cubs player, was a testament to his character.
"I am not the type of person who can be satisfied with anything less than my very best effort and my very top performance...And I am certainly not the type of person who can ask the Cubs organization and Chicago Cubs fans to pay my salary when I am not happy with my mental approach and my performance," Sandberg told Chicago Tribune.
Sandberg eventually returned in 1996 and played until 1997. He is known as the second baseman who had hit the most number of home runs in the league's history, noted BaseballHall.org.
