Ralph Kiner's Rancho Mirage home hits the market at $789,000.

In addition to the Rancho Mirage property, a Palm Beach, Fla., residence formerly owned by Kiner and his fourth wife, Ann Benisch, currently lists for sale at $6.2 million. Sweet MoG, I never would have guess Ol' Ralphie was that wealthy!

I had assumed two or three wives. Not five. Not surprised by the wealth, though. Ballplayers of his age made not have made that much scratch, but they made their investments at the right time. A home in Florid bought decades ago = good investment.

I'd take that picture of Ralph interviewing Ol' Case off the estate's hands. BTW, is that an Oscar on that top shelf in the back?

Dear Ralph, Though our lives have gone in different directions, I'll always recall with dearest fondness our one night of abandon. As a token of my deepest esteem, please accept my BUtterfield 8 Academy Award in the hopes that you will always think on me as fondly as I do you. With deepest affection, [fimg=200]http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/9440/img0002nvj.jpg[/fimg]

I had understood her to be the last Mrs. Kiner and incorrectly inferred that this one preceded her.

Ralph and Janet Leigh were an item at one time.

Considering California real estate these days, $789,000 for that place isn't exactly overpriced. It'd be a hoot if some Met fan bought the place.
