It’s in Texas. And at under $2 million, it’s a relative bargain as these things go. Some specifics:
Sited on a prime two-acre lot in the Saddlebrook community, Wetteland’s property offers seven bedrooms, six baths and nearly 7,000 square feet of living space. The home, built in 2001, boasts a wealth of luxuries befitting a baseball legend, including a palatial master bath with a dry sauna and a fireplace, a theater room with custom sound-proofing, and a wine bar.
That’s nice -- and I really loved John Wetteland as a player -- but I feel like we’re throwing around the word “legend” too much these days. Was Wetteland really a legend? Was Petula Clark? I ask that because “Downtown” came on my Pandora on Sunday and it was listed as a track on the album “The Legendary Petula Clark.”
Will people be sitting around tribal fires one day, sharing stories of the legendary Petula Clark and John Wetteland? I’m not saying that would be a bad thing. Just saying it’s unlikely.
