From Pro Athlete to Being Proud of
Your Financial Game
Boesch has played for the Detroit Tigers, New York
Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels and
Cincinnati Reds, as well as in the Dominican Republic
Winter League. He’s known the feeling of being an
award winning player, an MVP in AA, a batting
championship in AAA, hitting a double on the first
pitch in his first major league atbat, and he’s known
suffering from a careerending injury, and now from the
life changes that come with losing everything.
He says that “while you might not get to play your
sport forever, you can get that same successful feeling by
making investment moves you are proud of. You can keep
that feeling alive by making smart real estate choices.”
As any other professional player or celebrity has
experienced, Brennan had his fair share of agents for just
about everything during his active years in baseball. With
his personal experience and history, that gives him a
unique perspective in the business. There are many agents
out there, but this athletes’ agent knows the ins and outs of
the game, and the ins and outs of life, and he provides the
unique vantage point of having been on both sides of the
fence.
Life on the road is certainly tough for professional
athletes. There is a lot of moving and uncertainty where
you’ll be playing next season. Yet, that doesn’t have to
mean delaying making smart property purchases. He
acknowledges that players often “get talked into dumb
leases,” something he admits he might have wasted a lot
of money doing in his peak years too.
