Kathy Shayna Shocket has the inside scoop on the stories that make headlines. 

Kathy gives us a peek inside the 15,000 sq. foot celebrity custom built home.  

 Once you visit this sprawling estate, it’s not hard to tell it’s owned by a baseball player. The 2-acre property boasts an indoor batting cage, a trophy gallery, a bedroom with a scoreboard mural and baseball field themed showers. Former baseball player Damion Easely who custom built the home in 2005, has now sold it for $4.5 million. 

The luxury property in Glendale, AZ, in the gated community of Softwind Estates had been on the market for $5.5 million. 

The 15,000 square feet contemporary home boasts 6 bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms. It has a huge lagoon style pool with a water-slide, home theatre with a karaoke stage, butler's pantry and a 6-car garage.  

There’s an upstairs entertainment area boasting a game room and wet bar. Photos are from Arizona Premier Agents which had the listing for this magnificent mansion.

Oh yes, and did I mention there is also a Wiffle ball field, putting green, sports court and a sunken trampoline? 

Damon is known for his career with the Tigers, Angels, Diamondbacks and Mets and is now an assistant coach for the Peoria Padres of the Arizona League and also runs the Warrior Baseball Academy.

Will the new owners from Texas of the Glendale home keep the baseball theme?   Stay tuned.
