Turns out, Caitlyn Jenner's a big baseball fan -- or a big Kevin Costner fan -- 'cause she hit up the legendary "Field of Dreams" ball park in Iowa the other day ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

We've confirmed ... Jenner stopped by the park on Saturday with a bunch of her friends ... before she took the stage on Tuesday for an event at her alma mater Graceland University in Lamoni, IA.

Our sources tell us the gang took a self-guided tour of the field -- and though stadium staff allows people to play catch on the infield, Jenner's group didn't do it.

And shocker -- we're told Jenner had a camera guy with her to document the entire thing.

Caitlyn Jenner is ticked off that people don't give her kids due credit.

Jenner was speaking at her alma mater, Graceland University, in Iowa Tuesday and bristled at the notion that her family is simply famous for being famous.

20-year-old Kendall was a main talking point for Cait ... explaining how she's mapped out her road to success.

ABC has put the kibosh on 2 dudes dancing hip to hip on "Dancing with the Stars."

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ, the issue came up over an upcoming performance by an openly gay artist who goes by the name, Who Is Fancy. The performance is set for November 23, where he will debut his new song, "Boys Like You," featuring Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor, who will also appear on the show.

The song is about a man falling in love with another man. We've learned Who Is Fancy's choreographer sent an email to a 'DWTS' producer, saying, it would "be an awesome look to have 2 males dancing with each other."

Our sources say the 'DWTS' honchos discussed it and a producer fired back an email, saying, "Apologies all but this is a definitive no from the network."

We're told ABC agreed to allow "near dancing" during the performance, like a recent appearance by two men -- Alek and Carlos -- who shared the stage this week. Check out the video ... it's more like a Cirque performance than romantic ballroom dancing.

**WARNING -- LOTS OF CUSSING AND RACIAL/HOMOPHOBIC SLURS IN THIS VIDEO**

Adrien Broner is lashing out at Floyd Mayweather -- saying the fact that Floyd ripped him in public this week was some "gay ass s**t."

Yeah, not good.

But in a brand new video to Floyd, Broner immediately tries to do damage control ... saying, "I have no problems with gay men or gay women. I have no problems with the homosexuality out there."

Yeesh.

Here's the backstory -- Mayweather is mad at Broner because AB recently went on TV and said, "F**k The Money Team."

Floyd hit back in an interview with FightHype.com, saying, Broner should be THANKING The Money Team for everything Floyd and his crew have done for Broner over the years.

Mayweather said Broner "has a lot of growing up to do."

Now, Broner says he's trying to settle the beef ... but Floyd won't take his calls -- which is why he made a new video hoping Floyd will watch.

Caitlyn Jenner and Hope Solo both had a HELLUVA YEAR ... both nabbed hardware at Glamour Magazine's "Women Of The Year" awards in NYC -- but they took way different paths getting there.

While Caitlyn's been hailed as a hero for the way she handled her transition in the public eye -- Hope's grabbed publicity for almost all the wrong reasons: allegedly beating up her nephew and berating cops ... along with winning the Women's World Cup.

Clearly, Hope's solo efforts didn't carry as much weight as her team achievements.

Boxer Yusaf Mack KO'd the closet last night ... celebrating his new status as an openly gay man at one of the most famous night spots in West Hollywood.

Yusaf had a "coming out party" at Rage nightclub in Weho on Sunday night ... a longtime landmark on the L.A. gay scene. It was a helluva leap for Mack, who just revealed his sexual orientation last week.

Days ago he alleged he'd been drugged and forced to participate in a gay porno movie, but a lot has changed. We got Yusaf outside Rage, and we gotta say ... he looks really happy.

Soulja Boy says Vivica A. Fox went too far when she dragged his name into her attack on her ex-BF 50 Cent on "Watch What Happens: Live," but he's going to let bygones be bygones.

Soulja tells us he doesn't understand why she brought his name up at all when she went off on 50 -- lightly insinuating he and Soulja are gay. Soulja says he's not, and furthermore ... he doesn't know Vivica.

Her attack included a reference to Soulja's shirtless magazine cover with Fiddy -- which he defended, telling us he looked "dope" with his blinged out chains.

That being said ... he's giving Vivica a pass. Moving on.

Michelle Rodriguez says members of the LGBT community who are upset over her gender reassignment movie "Tomboy" are missing a big point.

GLAAD is upset about the movie's storyline ... a male assassin who is tricked into undergoing gender reassignment surgery.

Michelle feels strongly ... the fact that movies are being made with transgender themes is a victory in itself.

Wale thinks his comments about Frank Ocean and the Grammys and the gay community ... were totally misunderstood -- so, he tried to clear it up with us, but might have made it worse.

As Wale left the The Roxy Monday night, we asked him about his 'Breakfast Club' interview -- where he said it's an advantage to be gay in America today. As evidence, he claimed Ocean's last record got much more attention, especially at the Grammys, because everyone thought he was gay.

Wale wanted to clarify ... he absolutely thinks Frank has talent, but it sounds like he's saying no one would know about it if Frank were straight.

Hmm ... watch. Discuss.

Let it go "Frozen" freaks ... Elsa and co. have been dethroned by Caitlyn Jenner in the Halloween costume popularity game -- although they're hardly targeting the same audience.

Several costume companies tell us the replica of Caitlyn's corset, worn for her Vanity Fair cover, is hands down the the most in-demand getup this season. A rep for Wholesale Halloween Costumes says they haven't seen a craze like this since "Frozen" last year.

The rep says they're sold out after 1,000 units of "Call Me Caitlyn" flew off shelves back in August, and they haven't been able to restock for Halloween. Soooo ... Elsa might have to be your plan 'B' this year, fellas.

Note to male purchasers of either costume: Please, please wax or shave.

Caitlyn Jenner is learning all about girl problems ... like hiding those pesky tracks in her hairpiece.

LPGA golfer Natalie Gulbis says Caitlyn Jenner's breasts are not going to be an issue ... to her continued dominance on the links ... saying she's seen Cait bang the balls and the girls ain't hurting her.

Look, this isn't something we just pulled out of our butts -- back before the transformation, Bruce himself (as she was known back then) raised the issue ... saying he was worried if boobs would alter his finely tuned swing.

So, who better to ask than Gulbis ... who's got plenty of experience when it comes to teeing off with a couple of extra caddies hangin' around?!

Can you really just be friends with an ex??

Michael Sam seems to be trying with his former fiance Vito Cammisano -- 'cause they just reunited for the first time since they broke things off back in June.

Sam and Vito hooked up to make a video for Vito's YouTube channel promoting Spirit Day -- where people are supposed to wear purple to take a stand against the bullying of LGBT youth.

First off, props to the guys for putting their issues aside for a good cause -- but check out the clip, you can tell things are still a little weird between the two ... as it would be with most exes after a breakup.

If Diddy's son doesn't start stretching his mind, he could miss out on the role of a lifetime -- even if it's a gay role -- according to Eric McCormack ... who should know.

Quincy Combs told us he would have passed on playing the gay character Jamal on "Empire" because he didn't have enough experience as an actor. Considering how popular the show became, Eric thinks Quincy might have shot himself in the foot.

Eric played Will on "Will & Grace" -- which worked out pretty well for him -- and thinks Quincy's just not pushing himself. As he put it, "I've played murderers, and I never killed anybody."

Solid metaphor.

Disneyland might have pissed off a guest who was forced to change his outfit during the annual "Gay Days" weekend but our DLand sources say the guy never brought it up with them.

Anthony Gilet tells TMZ he was at Disneyland in Anaheim last weekend when a staff member allegedly chased him down and asked him to change. He says the employee told him his over-sized jersey and mini-shorts weren't appropriate for a family environment.

But get this ... Gilet made a huge stink on social media about the double standard in men and women's clothing allowed at the park but we're told he never filed a complaint with park officials.

Anthony says he's still got love for Minnie and Mickey though and plans to return to the park.

Talk about a goofy situation ...

Big Ang decided to go on the attack against Caitlyn Jenner ... but her choice of venue was odd ... a gay night club.

It all went down during the question round of the Miss Feathers Pageant in New Jersey, where Ang asked contestants what they thought of Caitlyn Jenner.

A contestant's answer sends Ang off in a third-person pronoun tirade.

Big Ang punches below the belt a couple more times before walking off stage. She kinda reminds us of an evil Rodney Dangerfield, no?
