Newport Beach has become a popular sports star base camp. Earlier, sportscaster Bob Costas purchased a home in the area. Boston Red Sox player, John Lackey has also listed his property located in the Crystal Cove area of Newport Beach.

The talented sports star is a four time "All-star" game winner and recently won the Heart and Hustle award in 2011. He also has nine Golden Glove Awards to his credit.

He recently grabbed headlines when his comments about playing with a "gay" team member created uproar among the masses.

"For me, as a Christian... I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right. It will be difficult and uncomfortable," Hunter said in an interview with Los Angeles Times.
