Joey Votto, 41, who retired from the Major League, recently sold his home in the U.S. It seems that he decided that he had no reason to stay in the U.S. anymore as he finished his career.
The U.S. online media “The Business Journal” reported on the 17th (Korea time) that “Joey Votto, who had a successful career enough to be selected as a six-time All-Star in the Major League, sold his mansion in Indian Hill, Ohio for $2.8 million (about 3.9 billion won).”
The house was purchased by Votto in 2012 by an NHL player for $2.8 million. Although he had a successful career in the Major League, he did not have the fun of making profits on the real estate side.
The house was built in the form of a two-story house with underground facilities on a five-acre (20,234.2821 sq. m) site, and has five rooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The master bathroom is equipped with a spa facility, and the backyard is equipped with a swimming pool. There is also an indoor parking lot that can accommodate up to four cars.
A native of Canada, Votto entered the professional league in 2002 by being drafted by Cincinnati in the second round of the MLB Rookie of the Year. He then made his major league debut five years later, in 2007.
Though it took a long time for Votto to make his big league debut, Votto was prepared enough to take the starting position immediately in 2008, a 토토사이트 year after his Major League debut. Votto appeared in a total of 151 games that year, posting outstanding performances with a batting average of 0.297 and 24 homers and 84 RBIs. His OPS, which combined on-base plus slugging percentage, was also good with 0.874.
Votto, who heralded his era immediately after his Major League debut, has since grown his reputation as the league’s leading big guns first baseman. In particular, he had a good on-base percentage based on his sharp pioneering plan, and even a joke said, “If Votto doesn’t hit it, it will be a ball.”
Votto, who played for the Cincinnati Reds for a total of 17 seasons until last year, posted outstanding performances with a batting average of 0.294 and 356 homers and 1,144 RBIs. His overall OPS stands at a whopping 0.920.
If Votto had retired from Cincinnati after the last season, he could have earned the honor of being a one-club man. However, he signed a one-year contract with Toronto just ahead of this season due to his greed to extend his active career. However, he has to retire without playing a single big league game, which he wanted.
Votto, however, spent 17 successful seasons in the Major League, earning a total of 249,542,838 U.S. dollars. If translated into Korean won, the total is about 349 billion won. Perhaps this is why the price of the house he recently sold seems very frugal.
