For Chicago Cubs players, homes near Wrigley Field make for a nice and easy commute. Cubs pitcher Ryan Demptster happens to own two of them which is why, as the Chicago Tribune reports, he is unloading one of them. He paid $1.715 million in early 2006 for the freshly built five-bedroom home but then paid $2.69 million in late 2008 for another newly-built house a few blocks away.

The first home, which is up for sale is a three-story brick and limestone residence with four fireplaces, a master suite with a spa bath, a gourmet kitchen with a butler's pantry, two-person sauna, media room and a penthouse party room on the top floor. The property also has two cedar decks, a hot tub and a garage. This home is listed at $2.25 million.
