Taking a swing: Marisa Miller works her sporting skills at the All-Star softball game in California yesterdayShe was voted FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World earlier this year, but Marisa Miller proved she's more than just a pretty face yesterday.
The blonde Victoria's Secret model, 31, put her sporting prowess on show as she took to the field for the Legends and Celebrities All Star softball game at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
She was joined by a host of stars including Mad Men's Jon Hamm and Access Hollywood presenter Maria Menounos.
On the run: Fans cheered on the Victoria's Secret model Also on the field were The Blind Side's star, Quinton Aaron, America's Best Dance Crew host Mario Lopez and former rapper MC Hammer.
Lopez and Aaron hammed it up for fans, who were kept amused by their startling height difference. Aaron dwarfed the 5'10" Lopez completely with his enormous 6'8" frame.
Hamm was also on fine form, laughing and joking with the players. A huge baseball fan, this is not the actor's first shot at an all-star game.

Play bal! Retro rapper MC Hammer makes an effort alongside the ladies favourite, Mad Men starJon HammLast summer, he fulfilled a childhood dream when he took part in a celebrity softball game in his native Missouri - he got to play on the same soil as his beloved baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals.
Jon has been promoting the new season of his hit show Mad Men lately as season four premieres on AMC on July 25th.
A multiple Emmy winner already, the show received several nominations again earlier this month, with Hamm up for Best Actor in a Drama and Christina Hendricks and January Jones receiving their first-ever nominations.
She's got her game face on! Maria Menounos, representing the Red Sox, eyes the ball as she plays hard with the pros 
Team spirit: The TV presenter said she was 'honoured' to take part'It's a nice reminder that people did like the show and did like your performance. And it feels great,' Hamm told USA Today.
'I was especially glad to see it go across the board with 17 nominations for the show,' he said.
As for the other participants, this fun game was not to be taken too lightly. In the run-up to the match, Maria Menounous told Access Hollywood:
'I definitely need to get to the batting cages to take some swings and to the park to shag some ground balls so I don’t embarrass fellow members of the "Nation", but I’m so honoured to be representing the Red Sox, baseball’s best franchise, in this year’s All-Star game!'
