Papelbon's Beacon St. penthouse in Boston is on the market for $3.1 million

After spending his first seven Major League seasons with the Boston Red Sox, Jonathan Papelbon is now entering his first season in Philadelphia with the Phillies. He was an All-Star four consecutive seasons from 2006-2009. He has 219 career saves and a 2.33 career earned run average, making him one of the most dominant closers over the past seven years. The four-year $50 million contract Papelbon signed over the winter means his home in Boston is up for sale. The $3.1 million, 4 bedroom, 3 bath home on Beacon St. is located close to Fenway Park. This penthouse, located in downtown is 2,500 s/f with marble and hardwood flooring as well as custom cabinetry. This four bedroom, three bath also has a nursery with two seats from Fenway Park included. The kitchen is filled with the finest appliances and copper fixtures. There is access to a roof, via an elevator where there are two deck tops. One of the decks has a hot tub overlooking the Charles River Basin and the downtown area. Also recently, Jamie Moyer became the oldest pitcher to ever win a major league baseball game when the 49-year-old was the starting pitcher in a 5 - 3 win over the San Diego Padres. Moyer, who has been with eight major league teams including his current Colorado Rockies team, picked up his 268th career win. If he ever retires, he is destined for the Baseball Hall of Fame. You will probably never play in a major league baseball game, but you can buy Moyer's Seattle home for $5.35 million. Or you can buy Barry Larkin's $10.9 million Florida estate, Adrian Beltre's Southern California home for $19.5 million, or the Arizona home of Walt Weiss, complete with huge baseball diamond in the backyard and an indoor batting cage, for $3.999 million.
