The other day we were talking about Jon Hamm and how he's just fantastic with balls in his hands.

Now, you get to see that in action!

Oh, and he's not the only celeb handling big balls either.

Eric Stonestreet, Chord Overstreet, Haley Reinhart, David Cook, and Horatio Sanz were there too!

All of them must have grown up around a lot of balls, because they're all basically pros!

Check out the clip from the 2012 MLB Taco Bell Legends & Celebrity Softball Game (above)!

Forbes.com has put out a list of the top ten highest paid coaches in professional sports.

The list is totally dominated by NFL coaches.

Bill Belichick came in as top dog with $7.5 million!!

Congrats!

No coach from the MLB makes the list, though two NBA coaches, Doc Rivers and Gregg Popovich, made the cut.

Crazy how much money these guys make as coaches!

The list (AFTER THE JUMP) is full of ties, which explains the weird numbering.

Considering he's only 19-years-old and is already one of baseball's biggest rising stars, Bryce Harper definitely has skillz. Apparently, the Washington Nationals outfielder has a lot of anger issues too!

Harper is sporting a baseball-sized black eye after swinging a bat against the dugout wall in anger only to have it swing right back and nail him in the face!

What made him so angry?

The Dodgers have kicked off their season with a phenomenal record, but now the new owners can finally start rejoicing because the $2 billion deal is officially CLOSED!

Magic Johnson is now the public face of the major league ball club with Mark Walter running things behind the scenes while Stan Kasten serves as CEO.

“The Dodgers emerge from the Chapter 11 reorganization process having achieved its objective of maximizing the value of the Dodgers through a successful Plan of Reorganization, under which all claims will be paid. The Dodgers move forward with confidence — in a strong financial position; as a premier Major League Baseball franchise; and as an integral part of and representative of the Los Angeles community.”

Former owner Frank McCourt, who drove the team into bankruptcy, didn't make out too bad either. He reportedly made about a billion bucks through the deal and still got to maintain some ownership of the stadium's parking lot.

One would think all this financial turmoil would have affected the team's game, but they are better than ever. Matt Kemp and the rest of the Dodgers crew are #1 in the National League West!

Keep up the good work, guys! Playoffs are a LONG way off!

Ha!

Aw, this is cute! Miami Marlins outfielders Brian Petersen and Logan Morrison, known on the net during off-season as Petey & LoMo, want to recruit Justin Bieber as an active baseball fan since he plays pretty much every other sport.

They figured imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so they spent one afternoon learning and covering one of the pop star's biggest hits — Never Say Never!

Check out their endearing performance above, which they personally gave an "A for effort. C for delivery. D for Digiorno."

LOL!

These guys should totally enter the Perez Hilton Cover Competition!
