“He used those when he built the house and they’ve got players names engraved on them,” said Melonie Kimble, a senior sales associate for ReeceNichols. “And they’ve got photos down there and there’s a sign in the garage that says ‘the White Rat,’ which is the nickname he went by. So they (the current owners) found some memorabilia there in the house when they bought it. ... But he built it. Apparently he was a bricklayer in his offseason ... and he did a couple of different houses on that street.”
Kimble said Herzog bought the property in 1960 when he was playing for the Kansas City A’s. Herzog sold the house in 1989
