The Wall Street Journal reported on another former athlete selling his Florida home. Retired Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Palmer spends most of his time in California so he is trying to unload his home in Palm Beach, Florida. The home slipped onto the market under our radar around a year ago for $3.4 million but is now listed for $2.85 million through Corcoran.

Palmer spent 19 years playing for the Baltimore Orioles. His wife Susan is an interior designer which explains the blandly perfect decor of the home. The pair purchased the 1940-built home in 2001 for $1.6 million and renovated it. The 4,100-square-foot, three bedroom home is about a block from the beach and also has a swimming pool in the back yard which is visible from the glass-surrounded family room.
