The three best features at Coco Crisp's nearly $10 million mansion

[admin]

Oakland A's outfielder Coco Crisp has been well traveled over his 15-year MLB career, suiting up for four different teams. He's found a home with the A's though, having spent the last seven seasons under their employ. *
Considering Crisp grew up in Los Angeles, playing in Oakland has been more convenient than his past gigs in Cleveland, Boston and Kansas City. And considering he's been making some really good money — he's earned a little over $60 million to date, according to Baseball Reference — it allowed him to purchase a season home in the Bay Area, and also a dream home closer to home, just outside Palm Springs in the Coachella Valley.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Crisp bought the nearly 17,900-square-foot, five-bedroom home for a cool $7 million. Now though, that dream home is for sale, with the property value listed at $9.995 million.*
Needless to say, there are 9.995 million reasons why the good majority of us will never own or even come near the property, but that won't stop us from dreaming.
In addition to its visual appeal, there are also several indoor and outdoor features you'll likely find very appealing about this estate. Here are our three favorites.
There's a lake in the backyard

Because sometimes having an*enormous pool in your backyard just isn't enough. A lake is good for hosting parties or just relaxing. Fishing would be fun too, but we assume you'd have to provide the fish. Either way, who wouldn't want to say they have a lake all to themselves?*
The mini-baseball diamond

Perfect for children and adults who still act like children, this mini-baseball diamond will provide hours of daily entertainment. Granted, you won't be able to hit any baseballs or softballs around the yard. There's simply too much valuable property around for that. But you'll have your Wiffle ball skills sharpened in no time.
There's an elevator

For those nights when taking the long, winding staircase doesn't seem so appealing, there's the elevator. Sure, that might encourage some degree of laziness. But just look at the size of that place, Cutting out a few steps here and there won't hurt anyone. You'll make it up just getting the mail.*

That's assuming there's not a post office in there somewhere too.*
