Bask in the love between these 5 ballplayers and their celebrity starlets

For centuries, baseball players have been some of the most eligible bachelors on Earth. Most date normal human beings like you or me, while others find love among the bright stars of Hollywood. Here are some of the more famous ballplayer/celebrity couples from the past 70 years.

Justin Verlander and Kate Upton

The Tigers pitcher and supermodel have been dating on-and-off since 2012. Since getting together, the two have been spotted at NBA games:

Upton's head has been seen at O.co Coliseum:

and the two have acted SUPER CUTE at Yankee Stadium together:

Matt Kemp and Rihanna

The new Padres outfielder and pop singer were seen together at various points between 2009-'10 -- mostly at Lakers games.

After their break-up, Rihanna was quoted as saying she thought Kemp was "pretty dope."

YEAH HE IS!

Barry Zito and Alyssa Milano (and Hilary Duff)

The former Cy Young Award-winner dated the TV star for about a year in 2006 and things looked so lovely.

Alas, things ended and Zito and Milano are now happily married to different people. But that wasn't before the (possibly possessed?) left-hander was spotted canoodling with Hilary Duff in 2007.

Derek Jeter and everybody

There is no definitive list of Jeter's gal pals, but we've copied some of the famous ones below:

Mariah Carey 

Jordana Brewster

Jessica Alba

Lara Dutta

Adriana Lima

Minka Kelly

Hannah Davis

Hey, man. Derek Jeter gonna Derek Jeter.

Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe

Nearly 61 years ago, one of history's greatest power couples tied the knot. Although they were only married for nine months, the two remained close friends until their respective deaths. DiMaggio was even quoted as whispering before his passing:

We hope you did, Joe.
