MLB

L.A. Dodgers star Matt Kemp took advantage of his day off yesterday and hit the Hollywood club scene -- only to drive off with two hot ladies ... one of which was an absolute smokeshow.

TMZ Sports has the footage showing the Dodgers outfielder bee-lining to a waiting SUV outside of DBA nightclub ... followed by a modestly dressed woman who got into the passenger seat ... and another woman dressed in some Daisy Dukes and a tiny top who got into the back.

The lucky SOB who caught two Chris Carter home run balls in the same game Tuesday night was prepared to give them back to the slugger, but TMZ Sports has learned ... he got to keep them.

In case you missed it ... Tim Pinkard, in his first ever visit to Minute Maid Park in Houston ... snagged home run balls in the third and fifth innings. Even crazier ... both homers were hit by Carter.

Pinkard met Carter before Wednesday's game and he tells TMZ Sports he offered Carter back the baseballs. But Pinkard says Carter refused and autographed them instead ... and even posed for a few pics with Pinkard and his family.

Pinkard won't be in the same seats for Wednesday's game ... the team got him primo seats right behind the dugout instead.

As for the balls, Pinkard has no intention of selling them, telling TMZ Sports, "The memory is more valuable."

Pinkard is from the Washington, D.C. area and said he plans to display them in his house when he gets home.

Alex Rodriguez may not be playing baseball, but he's still got a crap ton of money to play with -- during his year-long suspension -- which makes this video of him totally shocking and, dare we say it ... sweet.

The Oakland A's are so desperate to maintain their hold on the best record in baseball, they are willing to let a wild opossum run free in their stadium ... as long as it doesn't reproduce.

Playing catch with John Legend paid off ... because Chrissy Teigen nailed her first pitch at Tuesday night's Los Angeles Dodgers game.

TMZ Sports posted the video over the weekend of Teigen warming up for her big day ... and she didn't let nerves get the best of her when she took the mound. Possibly because she tweeted, "Crap I'm pretty drunk" ... shortly before the game.

Teigen passed on the fancy gymnastics gold medalist McKayla Maroney used during her first pitch in Chicago over the weekend.

And yes, they're both better than 50 Cent.

He was powerless over the cravings ... consuming it like an junkie ... but NY Yankees star CC Sabathia says he's now 3 years clean and sober after a hardcore addiction to Captain Crunch.

CC is very open about his obsession with the food (part of a complete breakfast) saying he would eat it by the boxload because it's so delicious.

But when he was told to lose weight back in 2011, CC had to kick the Crunch from his diet ... one of the hardest things he's ever done.

This is the most amazing thing we've ever seen!!!

A man born with no arms threw out the 1st pitch at the K.C. Royals game last night -- using his feet -- and he absolutely CRUSHES IT.

The guy's name is Tom Willis -- a motivational speaker who has a production company with the slogan, "No hands. No arms. No problem."

Willis used his feet to fire out the first pitch -- and put 50 Cent to shame!!!

The 54-year-old has thrown out the 1st pitch at 22 stadiums -- we're guessing he's trying to get to every single one.

SHOTS FIRED AT CHAD OCHOCINCO ... and the woman pulling the trigger is his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada!!!

The "Basketball Wives" star -- who happens to be engaged to L.A. Dodgers superstar Carl Crawford -- was hangin' at GNC at the Beverly Center ... when we asked to see the massive 14.5 carat diamond ring he gave her back in December.

That's when Evelyn flashed the ring ... and a little bit of sass ... taking aim at the puny 10 carat rock Chad gave her back in 2010.

Check out the clip ... enjoy the burn.

It's always fun to watch baseball players run into each other while trying to catch a fly ball.

So ... this.

Here it is ... PROOF ... that 50 Cent's arm isn't as terrible as it seemed during his legendarily awful first pitch at Tuesday's Mets game.

Just before he took the mound at Citi Field and threw a pitch so terrible, even Gary Dell'Abate had to laugh at it ... 50 was warming up the bullpen and displayed some pretty decent accuracy.

Check out the clip ... sure, he could use some work on his mechanics ... but it's not really that terrible.

Unfortunately, it's not really what you do in practice that counts ...

You can find him in the clubhouse ... humiliated on a national level -- because Tuesday night 50 Cent may have thrown out the worst first pitch in MLB history.

Fiddy was given the honor at the NY Mets game at Citi Field before the Mets took on the Pittsburgh Pirates.

There was a wind up. There was a pitch. There was a disaster.

This is the picture that triggered the conversation between L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his girlfriend ... the conversation in which he said he did not want her bringing Magic Johnson or any other African American to his games.

In the pic -- obtained by TMZ Sports -- V. Stiviano is on the right. The woman on the left is V's friend, Rachel Rodriguez.

Stiviano says on the audio -- and Sterling acknowledges -- he made her take the pic off Instagram because he didn't want her seen in public with an African American.

In another tape ... Sterling expressed similar disdain for posting this pic (above) -- also obtained by TMZ Sports -- of Stiviano with L.A. Dodger Matt Kemp.

L.A. Dodgers superstar Matt Kemp has just spoken out about being mentioned in the new Donald Sterling recording ... saying it would be "tough" for him to attend Clippers games as long as Sterling owns the team.

As we previously reported, Sterling can be heard instructing his girlfriend to remove a photo of Kemp from her Instagram account because Sterling doesn't believe she should be seen with a black guy in public.

Moments ago, Kemp addressed the situation to the media saying, "Racism is kind of old."

Lenny Dykstra claims he was beaten within an inch of his life while in custody at L.A. County Jail ... and the former MLB great says his attackers were corrupt cops ... this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

Chicago Cubs fans praying for a World Series title are wasting their time, 'cause according to "Mentalist" hottie Robin Tunney, it ain't happening ... EVER.

Robin was out in West Hollywood this weekend when we asked the Chicago native -- and White Sox fan -- what would happen in Chi Town if the Cubs pulled it together and finally won the World Series again.

And that’s when Robin delivered the truth bomb.

Hours after the L.A. Dodgers returned from their series in Australia ... Yasiel Puig did what anyone would do after a long flight around the world -- HE HIT THE CLUBS!!!!

Puig -- along with fellow Dodgers star Juan Uribe -- hit up Greystone Manor in Hollywood last night ... and just to make sure everyone knew he was there, Puig rolled up in his $300,000 Rolls Royce Ghost.
