And no, it's not parked down by the river. At Walmart, actually. Meet Daniel Norris, a pro baseball pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. He’s only 21-years-old and signed a $2 million bonus with the team right out of high school. And he lives in a van.

More specifically, a 1978 Volkswagen camper van. He keeps everything in there, like his closet, kitchen, and surfboard. He parks the van in the parking lot of the team’s spring training stadium in Dunedin, Florida, and at the local Walmart. No, none of this sounds normal to most people, but Norris wouldn't have it any other way.

Not surprisingly, he’s also the type of guy to go on spur of the moment road trips - in his van, of course.
