Continuing on our tour of "Athlete's Homes are Far Far Far Nicer Than Yours" the Slanch Report's latest stop brings us to the home of Heath Bell. The former Padre and newly signed Miami Marlins closer recently filmed a commercial for the company that designed his backyard and it's pretty great.First you get Bell's awkward on-camera presence where he clearly doesn't know what to say, repeats himself multiple times and comes off as inarticulate. Then you get the backyard itself which is pretty awesome (although those fires around the pool are a bit tacky for me), the key though is the incredible grill setup (complete with benihana grill) that I very much want to use to host a BBQ. So, Heath, whaddya say, July 4, your place, I'll bring my friends, you provide the food and booze? Split the weed?Hookers are BYO?
