Orioles' Jim Palmer cuts price on Florida home

The WSJ reports that Orioles pitching great, broadcaster and underwear salesman Jim Palmer is selling his Florida home and has cut the price to $2.9 million. He wants to spend more time at his house in California, the realtor said.

The Hall of Famer who spent 19 years playing for the Baltimore Orioles and his wife, Susan, an interior designer, purchased the 1940-built home in 2001 and renovated it. The 4,100-square-foot, three bedroom, 3½ bath home is about a block from the beach. The home has a gourmet kitchen, bay windows and a family room surrounded by glass walls that overlooks a swimming pool. Public records show Mr. Palmer paid $1.6 million for the home.

Nice crib. Check out the slide show on the WSJ site. Thanks Stuart for the pointer.
