On January 13, 2013, the public became aware just how scary Mike Matheny‘s financials were. The news broke just a few months after his first season with the St. Louis Cardinals, which resulted in an 88-win season and a playoff appearance. After signing an extension with the Cards, the 41-year-old Matheny had some financial security, despite owing over $4 million after failed real estate ventures.
For Matheny, losing his dream house in the midst of all the financial chaos could have set him back as he stepped up to manage a team losing Albert Pujols and Tony La Russa.
