Ex-Astros Shane Reynolds' $4,900,000 Sugar Land mansion complemented by a private baseball field

Shane Reynolds was something of a Houston Astros icon in the 1990s and had a long and successful career in the MLB. As you can imagine, playing in the major leagues for 13 years was very lucrative, and Reynolds lived in the kind of property you'd expect.

Reynolds lived in an 8,543-square-foot mansion in Sugar Land, Texas. The property has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, multiple living spaces and a gourmet country kitchen. There's also a billiards room, bar, home cinema, baseball field and a swimming pool.

Reynolds initially listed the property for $8.5 million in 2012 but reduced the asking price to $4.9 million in 2013 to hasten a sale. Let's take a look:

The interior is soothing, with rustic themes and an open plan:

Space is not at a premium, and with high ceilings, hanging lights and wooden floors, the decor is both easy on the eye and warming.

No mansion would be complete without an expansive swimming pool for those hot summer days.
