Former Major League Baseball outfielder and manager, Lou Piniella nicknamed "Sweet Lou," has an estimated net worth of $22 million. After nearly four decades as a winning baseball player and manager, Lou Piniella finally went home in late October 2002, accepting a job as manager of his hometown Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Born August 28, 1943 in Tampa, Florida, United States, Piniella had his work cut out for him, trying to put the Devil Rays on a winning track. Since first taking to the ball field in the spring of 1998, the Devil Rays had compiled one of the most dismal records in the history of major league baseball.
