Inside Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.'s former $12,000,000 Maryland mansion spanning 24 acres, a dream paradise with its very own baseball diamond

Cal Ripken Jr. had a Hall of Fame career with the Baltimore Orioles, playing for the franchise between 1981 and 2001. As one of the best players of his generation, Ripken was paid handsomely for his talents and is no stranger to luxury.

In February 2018, Ripken put his incredible Maryland mansion up for a May 12 auction. While the property was listed for $12 million in September 2016, it was reduced to $9.75 million in 2017. The price it was sold for at the 2018 auction has been kept confidential.

Let's take a look at this six-bed, 10-bathroom property that features an eight-car garage, a theater, a swimming pool and a full-sized baseball diamond:
