Former MLB Manager Bobby Valentine Sells North Stamford Home

STAMFORD, CT — Bobby Valentine, a Stamford native and former Major League Baseball manager and mayoral candidate, recently sold his North Stamford home for $1.5 million, according to January property transfer data.

The two-and-a-half story colonial-style home on Wynnewood Lane was built in 1995, and purchased by Valentine and his then-wife, Mary Valentine, for $1.69 million in December 2001, city records show.

The home is 5,794 square feet, and has five bedrooms and four total bathrooms. There is a covered porch and an attached garage.

Valentine told the Stamford Advocate this week that he's working for the Los Angeles Angels as a senior advisor, and also doing some television work as an analyst for the team.

He played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, California Angels, San Diego Padres, New York Mets and Seattle Mariners over a 10-year playing career from 1969 to 1979.

Valentine then managed the Texas Rangers, New York Mets and Boston Red Sox. He experienced the most success in New York, where he won 536 games in seven years, leading the Mets to the World Series in 2000.

According to the Advocate, Valentine said he still co-owns his parents' Stamford house with his brother, and he still has a hand in Bobby Valentine’s Sports Academy in Springdale.

Bobby V's Restaurant & Sports Bar on Atlantic Street is a part of Sportech Venues, the Advocate said.

In 2021, Valentine ran to be Stamford's chief elected official, but ultimately lost after a contentious and close race to then-state Rep. Caroline Simmons.
