2-Time World Series Hero Edgar Renteria Lists His Miami Home

Few moments in Miami sports history stand out like the end of the 1997 World Series.

Young shortstop Edgar Renteria, with one arm in the air, rounded the bases after hitting a single that won the Florida Marlins their first World Series title in franchise history in Game 7 against the Cleveland Indians.

Now “The Barranquilla Baby” is hoping to raise his arm in triumph once more—this time in the field of real estate. He’s selling his Miami home for $4.9 million. Renteria had purchased the 4,000-square-foot home in 2014 for $3.6 million.

The home’s location alone will make the purchase a home run. It sits on a third of an acre on Alison Island and offers vistas of the magnificent Miami skyline. The Atlantic Ocean and the city’s world-renowned beaches are just a baseball throw away.

According to listing agent Cyril Matz, it’s an incredible opportunity to score a dream home in one of the few Miami Beach communities to exclusively boast waterfront homes.

Renteria’s one-story home has five bedrooms, five baths, a family room, and entertainment space with a custom bar. There’s also a below-ground pool and 75 feet of waterfront.

Few players can boast an MLB résumé like Renteria’s. Along with his legend status in Miami, Renteria also cemented a spot in San Francisco Giants baseball lore after his MVP performance during the 2010 World Series that netted the Giants its first championship in over 56 years.

In 16 seasons, the Colombia native made five All-Star teams and was a two-time Gold Glove shortstop and three-time Silver Slugger.
