Retired slugger Travis Hafner, who smashed many homeruns for the Cleveland Indians, is selling his Lake Erie Mansion in Avon Lake, OH for $5.75 million. The post of the former Indians slugger first appeared on Real Estate News and Advice, as reported by Realtor.
According to Realtor, the Colonial-style home built in 2008 sits right by Lake Erie. Hafner's 17,817 square feet property features a jungle-themed playroom with a faux tree and painted wallpaper; a full bar with modern touches; and a stylish, modern kitchen.
Hafner's house has six bedrooms and two of those are master bedrooms. Each bedroom comes with a walk-in closet. It also has a pool, a lounge area with a tabletop fireplace, and an elevator that provides access to the home's four floors. Hafner bought the property for $821,800 in 2008.
Travis Hafner established himself as one of the most feared hitters in the American League during his time with the Cleveland Indians. Hafner's massive power and the ability to hit for average helped the Indians to a near-American League pennant in 2007. Although he had injuries near the end of his career, he will always be remembered as the best power hitter to ever don a Cleveland Indians uniform.
In Aug. 6, 2002, Hafner reached Major League debut with the Texas Rangers. That was a short stint for him with the Rangers as he was traded to the Cleveland Indians the same year. Hafner was quickly making himself as a force to be remembered within the American League.
I Sportsweb said that after the MLB season in 2013, he became a volunteer assistant coach at the Notre Dame College in January 2014. Earlier this year, the Indians announced that Hafner, along with former Tribe players Charles Nagy and John McDonald, would be rejoining the club as a special assistant to both player development and scouting. Last spring he was in Goodyear, Arizona serving as a special instructor.
