Buy Eric Hinske’s Scottsdale Home — $1.59 Million

Are you a parent in need of further proof that baseball is the way to go for your kid? Then just take a look at the swanky Scottsdale pad of former MLB player Eric Hinske.
The guy had one really solid year with the Blue Jays back in 2002 when he won AL Rookie of the Year, and then went on to play an additional 11 years as a platoon player. The dude mainly played to mash right-handed pitching — it was his meal ticket to over $22 million in career earnings.
Now the former World Series champ is looking to put some money back in his pocket by moving his fancy home.
