Home on the Cage

Funny article in the New York Times about Angels outfielder Reggie Willits.

In 2003, Reggie and his wife Amber decided to build a 3,000-square-foot house on five acres they own next to his family in Fort Cobb, Okla. The batting cage happened to be the first part of the house that they built.
But when the cage was finished, Reggie and Amber saw a way to save money from his minor league salary. They did not have to complete the house. They could simply stay in the cage.
From the outside, it looks like a warehouse, 60 feet long and 32 feet wide. But inside, it has everything a baseball family would ever need: a place to eat, sleep and hit.



Reggie Willits lives, sleeps and eats baseball, in his home that doubles as a batting cage, or batting cage that doubles as his home
