For nine years, Nick Markakis manned the outfield for the Baltimore Orioles. Because the Orioles hold their annual spring training in Sarasota, FL, Markakis bought a house there—after all, it’s much more comfortable sleeping in your own bed after training all day long.
However, Markakis became a free agent after the 2014 season and signed a four-year deal with the Atlanta Braves. Spring training for the Braves is in Lake Buena Vista, FL, about 120 miles northeast of Sarasota.
